Waves

September chill in the air this morning. I hear the leaves rustling in the wind and know that it won't be long before there are no leaves to rustle! For now they are still green and full, but the wind is pulling at them and they will lose the battle.

School has been going for a few weeks and I am settling in. I love teaching, but hate all the "stuff"... paperwork, new assessment initiatives, pressure to document everything, behavior problems that take awhile to get addressed, low morale of hardworking teachers that give their all and then get kicked.

So when I come home, if I have any energy left, I escape into my own artistic pursuits. I enjoy painting waves lately. They are soothing, exciting and mysterious. Waves come and go with a hypnotic rhythm. They hide things underneath and then churn them up and spit them out in a white foam.

I have two wave paintings that I've done that will be on exhibit (and for sale) at the Brunswick 10 x 10 show. If you are in the area, come see the show. There are wonderful pieces of art for your visual enjoyment! Food and good company too!
