Where I Create

I never think to take the work outside until the weather turns. Something about cooler air makes me want to be out there, even if I only get an hour before the sun moves and I lose the angle I was chasing. My glazes stay workable longer in October, which is probably the opposite of acrylic drying faster, but either way that shift in how the material behaves changes what I end up making.

October light hitting a porch sounds perfect. I drag my table outside in fall, too, but I'm usually wrestling branches out of the way or my neighbour's dog decides it's time to investigate what I'm doing. The cold gets my hands by mid-afternoon, so I end up finishing inside more than I'd like. Acrylic dries faster out there, though, which I've learned to work with instead of against.
