October Morning
Oil on canvas, 10x10

Yes, I love autumn! And yes, I love the morning, too. The light is clear, the shadows long, the day just beginning and full of promise.
But these mornings, the dawn seems to come soooo late. I know most folks hate the shorter days that we get when we set the clocks back. I have to say I love that sunrise is earlier. I'm usually up at 5 or 5:30, but these mornings, in Virginia, the sun doesn't come up until after 7.

MY NEXT SHOWS are in Texas, yee ha! I'm pretty excited. After the first one, in Houston, I will have most of a week to explore and paint. I'm going to camp at a state park outside of Galveston, and explore Padre Island and all that Texas coastal stuff that I've seen on maps, but never seen in real life. I'll post photos.
The shows are the Houston Fine Arts Festival, Nov. 1 and 2, and the Winnsboro Fine Arts Market, Nov. 8 and 9. Fun!

My friend Bonnielynn Brankey makes gorgeous paintings (click here to see her Ocean Colors website), and beautiful, luscious hand-painted scarves. If you're starting your Christmas shopping, check out her website and her Etsy store, too!
Above, one of Bon's scarves. Below, one of her paintings!
Is there an artist or a craftsperson you'd like me to feature on the blog?
Please drop me a line at carrieBjacobson@gmail.com.

Dog of the Day
I've showed this photo of a Williamsburg, VA, bichon to our bichon, Woodreau, about 100 times. Woody is STILL scruffy and grimy. Guess he just doesn't know how to take a hint...
