It is full of boxes from my last show, the encaustic workshop I taught, and the return of supplies from my summer house. My husband has sneaked in a box he's making and my son thinks its a parking spot for his bike. I have to define my space it seems. Working three days a week further removes me from my art. It's a month since I painted. I have two new art books that I'm not reading which is very unusual .

Even blogging holds no interest right now.
How do I account for these unfocused actions? September is always a month of new beginnings for me , a time to reconsider the coming year. Yes, my year goes from September because of my many years in the classroom. I need to make the transition from the months at my summer studio into my real studio. I need to get my head around my new series. It's coming to me slowly as each new piece looks a little different in style. I need a block of work time. Hopefully it's coming soon. Perhaps a trip over the stairs to the studio would be a good start!
