It was hot here last week. Really hot. Now the temperature seems to have settled and hints of autumn come in the late evening.
I have been a bit distracted lately and not keeping up as well as I should with my Italian studies. I keep vowing I'll get back to it but somehow I can't seem to get away from one distraction or another. (Like taking pictures of my desk and it's centerpiece altar of golden fall colors!)
We had an assignment to draw something from nature for my watercolor class which resulted in the sun flower at the bottom of this post. I would like to write more, but I have an audition out in Santa Monica this afternoon and I still haven't done my Italian homework! So, I will be back soon with more of my recent adventures and happy distractions!
My little little altar celebration of fall ...
How, but in custom and ceremony,
Are innocence and beauty born?

So many worlds,
so much to do
So little done,
such things to be.

And I hope you are enjoying
some of the happy distractions of fall!

good luck you busy girl! always like to see and read what you're up to...what's the audition for?I thought of you the other night while we watched 'The Bicycle Thief'...ciao!
Hi Kerry! The audition is a callback for a Lowe's commercial (hardware stores) ... the first audition was weird so we'll see! :)
Bicycle Thief was so beautiful but so tragic, huh?
Love that little boy!
I enjoyed your little altar to fall. Very pretty flowers and so is your drawing. Good luck with your audition.
Hi Cobalt Violet, trovo molto belle le foto del tuo altare e dei tuoi fiori.
Complimenti per il magnifico girasole, una interpretazione originale e molto suggestiva. Ciao!
Loree~ Thanks! ... and the audition went OK, I guess. Hard to tell!

Simply wonderful!
Beautiful photos and drawing. I have planted dahlias for the first time this year, and I will be very happy if they turn out as beautiful as yours. Good luck with the audition.
Glorious! Happy distractions are important, in the grand scheme of things, aren't they? Love your sunflower drawing, and the desk arrangement is spectacular.
beautiful painting and images !
wish you a nice weekend
