I was thinking about how leaves shift colors each fall, and I wonder if we could use that as a living palette for a painting series. Do you ever see the forest as a canvas, and would you be interested in turning those natural hues into a mixed‑media art project together?

That’s wonderful! Let’s plan a day in the woods, bring a sketchbook, some watercolors, maybe a few natural pigments we can press into the paper, and just let the trees guide us. We’ll walk, find spots where light and shadow play, and capture the moment on canvas—no pressure, just the joy of being there together. Does Saturday morning sound good to you?

That’s the perfect plan. I’ll bring brushes, a couple of canvases, and some light snacks to keep our energy up while we paint. I’m excited—there’s something so calming and inspiring about working side‑by‑side with nature. See you by the oak on Saturday!
