Time to be Creative

I love the fall season. Summer is over and there are a lot of things to get excited about.

1) There are new exhibits to view at art galleries and museums.

2) There are new movies to see and regional film festivals to attend in many locations. The Heartland Film Festival in my area is the annual film festival that introduces the Midwest to independent film-makers from around the world. The movies are always great.

3) The change of seasons brings to my part of the country cool crisp air and beautiful colorful foliage. There are also a variety of festivals to attend that pay tribute to the local produce, apple and pumpkins.

4) The one thing I like the most about the fall season is that it seems to be the perfect time to be creative.

I would guess that many of the great artists have been inspired by the change in seasons. It’s difficult to walk outside this time of the year and not be inspired by nature. You might be lucky enough to view a shooting star, a squirrel busy preparing for winter and the colorful crisp leaves blowing from the trees. All of these things help to inspire many of us to be creative.

This seems to be a popular time for art and craft classes. You can find many adds in the newspaper with craft stores announcing their big sales on all the supplies and items you will need to create.

This is the perfect time to become involved with the arts. You may just want to see a new exhibit at a gallery or visit a museum or maybe take in a great movie. I know I will be back in the studio creating my art after a long summer break. Now is the time to be creative.
