Extending Summer
TIP OF THE MONTH
Extending summer is my motto this month! Yes, it’s already September and that means that we, in the northern hemisphere are heading into Autum followed by Winter. Well I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling a warm welcome to extending summer. Luckily we are having a bit of an Indian Summer, which just feels right. Our summer was frequently interrupted with quite heavy rain loads and chilly winds, so this adds some balance.
Wake up is my second motto. . .more things are open than I have realized, so I am feeling the want to catch up with activities and gatherings of culture. These activities and gatherings add to the feeling of extending summer, painting, sculpting especially within a group setting ads the element of connection for me.
September is indeed the ideal season for enrolling in group activities throughout the year. . .it reminds me to check out my bucket list and start to set aside the time on my schedule. This I have missed most, group activities. What about you?
On another topic, I am delighted to continually share images of Flying Fish with you on social media (@daniellarubinovitz instagram) If you are in the area of Price Sculpture Forest on Whidbey Island (North-West of Seattle).please do go visit! Such fun. I am oh so grateful that this massive project was possible through the technology at our fingertips! I certainly miss not being there in person nonetheless.
Again… more info about my art and process is always on my instagram account @daniellarubinovitz.
Next on the list is happenings at the studio.
In the studio, team building workshops and pop up workshops for adults and kids are open. So do inquire with me and book your session(s).
Let’s stay in contact about how we might collaborate together in workshops and art installations, yes!
