Autumn Inspiration

Here I am on the San Francisco peaks. I  took the chair lift  up with all the other tourists, looking down on the golden aspens. I actually expected to see even more color, but mother nature showed  a lovely canvas.
I like fall. The air gets cooler, as  do we. It is a change, which is not a bad thing. Nature beckons. I  gain insights and inspiration living in this incredible environment. The holiday seasons are approaching, all of them. As artists, we can no longer put off that final productive surge, and those due dates exist. Christmas will not be postponed, simply because we are not quite ready!
A fellow craftsman welcomes what he calls this " creative tension", as he starts a new project, or tackles a problem in a new design. I try to keep this thought in mind, even as I sit down to write this blog.
 Soon I will go into my calligraphy studio. It's time for   some serious thinking on this idea that has been floating around in my head for a while.  That is the first step in my creative process.
It is time to get into my autumn inspiration.
