The More it Snows...

Happy Winter Solstice! It's twenty minutes before sunset but still fairly bright outside after a sunny, blue-skies day. We bundled up and took a walk along the beach. It's hard to believe that the beach looks like frozen February on the first day of winter.

We had the Holiday Open House and Open Studio for the gallery on Sunday afternoon. For some reason my heart just wasn't in it. We got through it in the end, but we were both somewhat depressed and tired. But by Tuesday I was back on form and regained my focus.

So here I am, back in the studio, and planning out my next moves. I've subscribed to the Art Deadlines newsletter, I'll be participating in the January Novel Writing Month (inspired by NaNoWriMo), and I'm about to start on a new set of paintings. It's great to not have to worry about the gallery for a while.
