I'm out of practice in the studio. All spring and into summer I was off my regular schedule — traveling, working, getting ready for the vacations, catching up with friends, eating well but not holding myself to any kind of art regimen. If that wall of time has built up for you, too, let's get back into the swing of things together with some abstract painting prompts. They will get us warmed up in the very best way and fire up our creative spirits once again!
