What’s inside?
Hope you had a nice Labor Day Weekend
Welcome back MWS Members! I hope your summer wasenjoyable, interesting and hopefully a little relaxing, too.For the first time since I started painting, I didn’t paintduring the summer break. And now I realize how trueJohn Lennon’s words were because I was busy makingplans to paint, while a new life happened. Mystepdaughter Elizabeth had a baby girl on July 9th. It wassuch a joyful occasion that I was delighted to take a breakto enjoy this new blessing.We all experience lulls, breaks and events in our lives thatchange our plans, or make new paths for us. Some aregood and some challenge our expectations. Thesedisruptions may be short-lived and welcome breaks, butthey may also be difficult to shake. When the time is rightyour plans will eventually come back and take their placeas what is happening in your life.
Painting, a stroke of genius,
Diane LaryMWS President
