After finishing 2 of my 8 shows scheduled for this fall, I actually have no event to attend this weekend. I am though preparing for the remaining 6 shows – all of which are in a row. I do plan to find a perfect pumpkin with my daughter this weekend, and I’m looking forward to a special dinner out and some belly-dancing (more on that later).
This is a relative calm period in an otherwise rather heavy schedule. I am still calling people who made special framing orders at the past two shows and printing pieces to replace those that sold. Next week is a short week as I will be setting up for the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen State Show at Tyler Park in Newtown, Bucks Co., PA.
With this show schedule, I work well into the evening so that if weather permits, I can also get out into the fields and woods near my home to create new autumn images. The colors are beginning to show up, but I also see a lot of dried leaves and suspect that I will need to look at the landscape in isolated sections more than grand vistas. I enjoy making images that are really vignettes or as often termed – intimate landscapes.
This is a fleeting period of relative calm for me, soon things will begin to happen at a fast pace. For the time being, I’ll try to enjoy the time and prepare for the craziness.
This image below was made the last morning of our recent trip to the Outer Banks, NC. It was the calmest of the 8 days we were there, most of which were very windy with a raging surf. It’s the image that I can associate with this brief respite.
