I’ve been chipping away at a series out in the studio that is, quite naturally, fly fishing inspired. I seem to come up with a fishy kind of series in August most years so this is not out of the ordinary for me. You may remember this series from last summer, which continued into part of the winter and then transmogrified into the Adaptation Series. It’s so fun to throw my hands up in the air and see where the work leads me!
The results of this new series have been delicate, robust, colorful and whimsical. There is more to come but I’d like to get the first batch of work in the shop for you tomorrow morning so stay tuned for that!
Robert has been home! Only for a week long visit. It’s been a mighty good time. I’ve been quite focused on him, as you might imagine, but also on us and working hard to heal up the tiny cracks that make their way across the surface of the heart during fire season when we are apart for long stretches. It has been difficult for us this summer, as it is every summer, the distance has felt enormous, life has been over-full.
Rob will leave for work again tomorrow and then it will be one short month before we begin our off-season together. We’re making plans and this winter is going to be a good one.
We were up at nearly 9000ft last night and the air was FRIGID. Can you feel the nip of autumn in the air where you are? September and October are magnificent months to be Idahoan. Warm days. Fresh nights. The scrub maple begins to burn red in the draws on the mountain, the aspen and cottonwood grow yellow with the frosts. It’s beautiful here and on the brink of being beautiful-er yet. I know you can say the same.
Hang tight! There’s more on the way.
