My painting this week focused on patterns, circles and other rounded shapes.  I'm really comfortable with circles and their ilk.

So much for summer... The weather here has been miserable, as in overcast for entire days in a row, and cold.  Yesterday I turned on the heat in the house; I've had to put on wool socks a couple times in the last few days.  I wake up in the morning to find it's drizzled overnight, the street is wet, drops are falling off the eaves.

I'm finding that now I'm experiencing some S.A.D., whereas I wasn't bothered with it at all during our interminable rainy season.  The weather should be clement in the summertime.

I've been in a quiet mood recently, one of those times when I don't feel much like putting myself out there in any way.  Nothing is any different on the outside; I just feel like pulling inward and being outwardly quiet.

Have a great week, and a safe holiday if you're in the States or Canada ~ happy 150th Birthday, Canada!  Wish I could be there, wish I lived there...
