Hearing the rain outside makes me realize that all the warm heat of the summer is dripping into fall and it's time to make ready for all the fall activity! Classes have begun. There is availability still in all my west Van classes - you can easily join and not feel like you are trying to catch up. Each week has extra step by step writeups and video to ensure whatever way you like to learn - it's available and not just on class day.

I'm excited as I bought a role of Arches paper - my first - usually I get full sheets or blocks. There is also new product to try from Opus Art Supplies. Today I'm excited to go to a live presentation by John Cogley of Daniel Smith paint fame.

So many paint colours - so little time!
