I woke very late, for me, today. There is so much to do: grapes to mash, laundry to do, rooms to clean, plants to prune, weeds to pull. Well, I read blogs and such as that! So now with less than an hour to face my students, I pull myself together, clean and arrange my studio for the day. Today I have acrylic classes, so I must clean and put up all remains of yesterday's oil classes.
Teaching is so good for me. Cleaning my house would be a good thing, but I really am glad to have retained my summer classes. There have been a few times in the last 4 weeks when I considered it a bad choice, but honestly, it stablizes me. When I'm in my studio, I am captured by it mentally, physically, emotionally.
There will be times for processing when I get back to my routine of waking early and all that that brings. I will get the posts on either side of my trail up the hill finished. I will get the last wall of the sunroom and the definition on the doors of my Kiln room. I will begin the upper gardens and the play tower on the hill. We'll start the renovation of our kitchen and the building of our carport. All those things will fit themselves into our minutes and hours, but for today, I'll don my teacher hat and smile and forget anything else exists. Blessings.
The picture is a lead piece for an acrylic painting. I always lead students through their first encounter with paint so they will learn good habits and thinking and establish a positive relationship to the paint.
