I have been busy this summer with lots of things, a trip to New Mexico with my hubby provided a break, and some inspiration, but I have not yet gotten to work on any of the ideas that got into my sketchbook from that trip yet. I do finally understand the "southwestern color palette" though. Still not my fave, but out there is really works. I was happy to come home and see greenery, my lawn - even full of crabgrass, and large trees.
I have also returned to playing classical guitar. It has been a few weeks, and skills are beginning to return. It has taken a while to get my finger nimble again and there is still along road to simply return to the level I was once at, but it feels good. My return to playing is the subject of the mixed media challenge piece. I sponsored the challenge based on summer and I had better have a piece done for it. I was going to do something based on the New Mexico trip, but all of a sudden the guitar idea popped into my head, and I even have an old set of strings to use on it. I'll keep you all posted.
