Thank you for joining me, and I hope this finds you and yours happy and healthy!
This time of year is always a visual extravaganza in color as the mountains sing Autumn and the sky wanes in gray before the winter takes her frosty hold. Normally this time of year, I am so taken by the natural wonders of Autumn colors I create around and through that, but this year is different.

Politics is making me crazy -I watched the debates which left me appalled & disappointed. It bothers me that a representative of the United States would act with no Etiquette, being rude and disrespectful as if a child’s tantrum. This behavior is over the top and to me not acceptable but is becoming the norm, as role models run out of control and we the American public allow it. With this rattling around in my head, I have considered it in new works of art, and sadly I don’t feel we as a nation have a candidate for the presidency!
Please feel free to contact me and have a wonderful month- I hope to see you next month.
