I absolutely love this time of year. I must say I’m quite bias since it’s Scorpio season, November is my birth month, and my birthday arrives this Friday, the 13th. IN addition to that, I also love this time of year so much for the foliage drifting, ebbing and meandering from the boughs that they once called home, the magnificent hues and tints that they present. Also, as expected during this time of year where I reside, the air is brisk, crisp and cooler. I actually find it quite refreshing and stimulating.
On the subject of stimulation, November commenced with immersing myself in the art studios for First Friday. I ventured out to some of my favorite spaces at The Stutz, as well as wandered into some studios that were new to me. I was most enchanted by the compositons of cakes by the local artist Cathy Williams, as I found these pieces the perfectly appropriate, fitting, and suitable opening and welcome to my birth month.

After exploring my more familiar studio spaces and saying hello to the brilliant artists upon entry, I decided to take the stairs back down one floor for some reason, and out of curiosity I encountered the studio space of an artist who goes by Todd. He is very much influenced by classical sculpture and then puts his own flourish on these pieces with a dash of technology. I was intrigued by the classical works in collaboration with the digital technology that we use today. Some of the pieces come with a companion QR code for more of an interactive experience.

In addition to discovering art indoors, I’ve also been catching glimpses of art in nature. November — or autumn predominately — is like a masterpiece in and of itself. As I mentioned before, I adore the multicolored trees, also the sunsets, and architecture of buildings. During my picturesque evening strolls this season, I’m prepetually enveloped and inundated with vibrant leaves. I feel as though I’m in a painting and nature has simply painted a strikingly vivid scene all around me.
Art is in nature itself. These walks are like a feast for the eyes.
This past week has only been a prelude to how wonderful this season is going to be. With my birthday rapidly approaching, it brings along with it even more art exhibitions, concerts, and possibly some theatrical performances. I just know that whatever else is in store this November, I know it’s going to be spectacular. I’m vigorously enthusiastic about seeing it all unfold beautifully.
