end-of-summer crunch

 
(5x7)
A quick (unfinished) sketch of some backyard trees is all I've been able to manage lately.
Every year the end of August is a mad dash to do everything I'd been planning to do all summer; and it's usually a busy time for me with work too.

Below is a little painting I donated to an auction to raise money for ALS research; the auction's on Labor Day: I hope it brings in some money!

    The painting is charming; it always makes you feel good when you do a kind act - hope it sells!

    At least you are getting things done, Laura, one way or 't'other! More than I am managing these days. I hope the painting brings in some big money too! ALS? Is that Lou Gehrig's disease?

    I totally get that crunch feeling--this is our busiest season at school, and that's coupled with my planning for all my fall travels, so it's insane. I find it so hard to carve out painting time, so I'll enjoy the beauties you've posted. I bet the boats painting will sell quickly--it's lovely, Laura!

    Good luck with all you're juggling.

    I hear you Laura! Late August and early September sends everyone in a flurry of trying to get everything done all at once. I'm sure your boat painting will raise some good money for a worthy cause.
