Early last spring my friend Kevin told me to set aside a weekend in October for this big artist retreat that happens in the hill country.

A few weekends ago was that weekend, I went – and it was great to have a weekend to decompress, and to focus on the artist in me. It was truly refreshing, being in the middle of nowhere – with no pressure, no rush, hugely supporting friends (even if we just met hours ago), and an all-around atmosphere of art, and creativity.

I think I will have further words on the retreat as I process through it, but for now I leave you with the photographic evidence of the weekend….
