Autumn Happiness

What a crazy start to Autumn it has been.

Half way through and we were still getting nearly 40 degree days.

But a storm is upon us.

The temperature has dropped.

Wind has picked up.

And rain has been falling to give our gardens a much needed drink.

I love these days.

The boys are out of town, Boof is at work so i will enjoy the silence of the house and work on a jigsaw puzzle while drinking oodles of tea.

But first I lay in bed with KittyPuss snuggled in close, listening to the gentle rain outside my window.

I finished a new picture last week.

She needs a name yet.

I tried out a technique for the background and am super happy with how it turned out.

Darker than I had in mind but a beautiful contrast to the pink roses.

I have begun printing certain products with my art on to sell in my Etsy store.

Im still waiting for a few bits and pieces to arrive before I list them.

I cant wait to share it all with you!

I hope with all my might that lots of people will want a little piece of the Moon Circus in their homes or to share with friends.

I watch the moon ascend the night sky in wonderment.

The lunar rays wash over me and I absorb the inspiration.

I have a new idea....

Where's my sketchbook??

Changings

The season is changing again.

The sun has a different glow.

The nights are cooler and the mornings are dewy.

The days are sunny, not hot.

I love these days.

There are other changes happening too.

I have decided to cut down on my hours a little at work, just for a while, to give myself some time to catch my breath and slow down physically and mentally.

I will use the time to be more relaxed and present for my family.

They deserve that and I won't get these years back with them.

This new time for myself will also be used to fall into my art deeper. 

I hope to overflow with creativity and expand my port folio.

So I want to consolidate my blog and newly reopened Etsy store.

The gypsy has woken up inside me again and is dreaming of the Moon Circus.

I updated my photo watermarks with my logo too but couldn't not share these beautiful pics I had already saved.

Heavily filtered, I know, but still they barely convey the breathtaking depths and hues of seeing them in person.

I will always be the paper flower inside a tornado.

And I will always have a gypsy heart.

A heart that loves the crisp coolness of Autumn.
