We are now into our second week of High School at the Mueller house, and finally starting settle into the new schedule. Olivia is getting a bit better about waking up in the mornings, but that doesn’t mean she is springing out of bed. She informed me that she is not a “morning person” and that teenagers need a lot of sleep. So, I quietly sip my coffee, make lunch and try to get her out of the house on time. So far, so good!
As September inches along, I am already missing Summer. I love the slower pace, vacations with my family, sitting in the backyard under the stars, and having long conversations while enjoying a glass of wine. And let’s not forget the flowers. Beautiful, beautiful flowers everywhere.
Now, if you’re anything like me and need to ease into Fall, how about treating yourself to a little creative learning with my new art class. I would like to think of it as a sort of “back-to-art-school for adults, if you will. Something that may help us to hold onto Summer a bit longer.
Let me tell you a bit about the class.
It all started when the lilacs bloomed in our backyard, I was so excited to see them after a ridiculously long winter here in Michigan. Those gorgeous lilacs gave me a little glimmer of an idea that I let roll around in my head for a bit.
Then came the peonies, and there was no turning back. I began bringing more and more flowers into our home and then into my studio. I pulled out my supplies and started drawing and painting without expectation. It was so much fun that I knew it was time to create a new class. And, it was the perfect excuse to visit the local flower shops and buy more flowers - research my friends, research :)
