Renew, Refresh, Revitalize

While I am preparing for the Western Loudoun Studio Tour  (www.wlast.org) this weekend, I'm also taking these weeks to walk more, meditate more, exercise, breathe in the summer honeysuckle, watch my nearby creek tumble along, battle birds stealing applies from  my trees,  sketch, photograph, paint outdoors (just for myself and no one else)  and garden a little.  I need to go into that private place where I go when I'm painting. I need some refreshing....badly.  I believe I have been suffering from exhaustion....and now for some renewal....
