The most wonderful time of the year...

It's been busy in my little studio this fall...my favourite season and the time of the year when I have to most energy which works well as it tends to coordinate with a busy season for me.  There are several projects that I have been invited to take part in, so now I have to decide how it fits into my priorities which are my family, painting (which includes exhibits) and studies (slowly & happily trudging along).
 I feel so fortunate to be able to pick & chose where my attentions lie. But I also realize that success in certain areas of my life demand that I focus in this way. It also means that I am the happiest because of making these choices.
