Spring Awakenings - Temple University

Last week the Musical Theater Department at Temple University opened their musical, Spring Awakenings.  As challenging as it was to watch this show, I could not be any prouder of my daughter for her soulful performance of a young girl who was being abused by her father.  It sent chills down my spine and that is when I realized, she had pulled me into her performance and I was feeling her pain.  Her talent overwhelms me and she is growing and learning with each passing performance.  I am so very proud of her.

CHANGE OF SEASON

Here on the East Coast of the United States we are just about peaking out with the autumnal hues that are changing everyday.  Quite walks offer as much if not better landscapes than are in an art studio.  Colors are vibrant and against a crystal clear sky pop all over.  Berries, grasses, mums, leaves of all shapes, sizes and colors.  Go outside this fall an enjoy the fresh air and the inspiration that comes with this beautiful change.
