Hello to all, here's my latest fun piece I played with in my journal. Well it's that time of year, Back to School time, new books and exercise pads, pens, paper, diary....it's fun getting all the new material and time table. My boys started school last week, so I got into this theme. Art often wakens my senses and memories rush back to me, like the smell of my very first little leather school bag, smells of school corridors and class rooms, so many old school memories. This month has a mellow feel to it, still so bright and summery but shadows lengthening by the day, it's ripe with smells of apples, figs, plums. This collage is a tribute to this Back to School month, to ripe mellow September.

we are heading towards the end of the school year in Australia... almost to the end of winter term and just one to go before we finally get a break... I am counting down already... love the bright crisp colours in this ... just lovely...xx
Wonderful collage! School year started here in middle of August, so we are getting back into fall routine... There is always a wonderful sense of new and exciting in autumn mixed with wistful feelings towards passing summer... HPPF!
Loving your beautifully collaged back to school page Kat. Happy PPF, Annette x

September does have its sweet things about it. I think you captured them so well in your painting and your words. Happy PPF

Great painting!! My kids are all in school also, the quiet has been so nice! Happy PPF!
Precious page. School so important...husband just retired from teaching. First year he is not mired down in it. Grand kids doing well at school one in college. Memories here. Nice when some one's art makes me remember and feel good.
HPPF!
Kat,

Very fun! I've been enjoying my back to school free time, too! :)
wonderful cheerful colors that children(and adults)love! Children all back to school here the end of August, too!
What fun vibrant colors, Kat! I am the same as you are when it comes to beginning the school year... i remember the smell of my own schoolbag when i was only in elementary school. September always brings back wonderful memories for me. Beautiful work Kat... xox
What a great journal page. September always stirs memories for me too.
Kat -- Apples, figs & plums, Oh, those lingering Indian summer days; they just won't let go as the smells of autumn carry us in the wind -- apples, figs & plums -- I'm quoting myself -- thanks for the memories and inspiration. Blessings Terri
Funny, because to us in New Zealand this is nearly the end of the year, in a couple of weeks it will be the end of term 3 and we will heading for the last term of the year. Love this page, but mine would be a lot less vibrant and fresh at the moment!!
Lovely work and the vibrant colors add to the charm!
