Calendar: October

We're a week in, but here I am! We have a new toy at our house that we have been setting up (Ok, *hubs has been doing all the setup...) And now I'm chiming in from our new iMac :) Grateful to the power of 100 that we are able to have this new creative tool!

Wishing you a happy month of October, filled with pumpkin spice and yellow, orange, and red leaves, even if they land in your yard.

This month's SK calendar is a little on the dramatic side but you're okay with that, right?

Happy September to you!

Just for fun I asked Caleb for a good June buzzword to chew on as I painted. Being the dashing, practical thinker that he is, he pitched me the phrase energy efficient.  Yep, the hot, heavy-AC days of Texas June were in mind.

When he saw I was finished, he smiled and said, "And where's the Prius?"
Perfect.

A year ago, I made my first desktop calendar in order to share something I love to do--a simple, quick composition of color from my sketchbook--with my family and friends. It has been a joy to hear of friends from all walks of real life and web-life enjoying the calendars and it has been a great creative discipline to keep me challenged and consistently painting.  


Here's to more s k calendars, straight from the bottom of my {brightly colored} heart :)
