The monthly letter - September 2026
As Long As There's Sun,
I Can't Quite Come Back In !
Dear friend,
Summer isn't quite over for me yet ! I'm making the most of these last weeks of good weather, with my family, but also with almost daily swims in the ocean with Zoé, my cocker spaniel who loves the water as much as I do.
The sun is stronger than me, I always find it hard to stay indoors while it's shining. It really takes rain, or nightfall, for me to settle down ! But well, the days are getting shorter, so little by little I'm spending more time back in the studio.
And you, how was your summer ? Do you have new projects for the season ahead ? Tell me all about it , I love hearing from you.
As for me, my head is full of ideas, I can't wait to show them to you in colour in the coming weeks.
I'm keeping up my « slow » rhythm this year, the one where I try to listen to myself a bit more. I go into more detail, and explain why I felt like meeting you differently, in an article I've just written : link to the article “Slowing Down to Meet You Better”
That said, I've received an invitation for an event on October 10th, in my region. If you're in Portugal, save the date, more on this very soon !
Another date to note : the Open House Gallery & Studio
I'm also slowly starting to prepare our next big get-together at my place, on December 5th. Go ahead and note it down somewhere, I'd be delighted to see you there.
In the meantime, let's enjoy the sun a little longer.
With all my warmth,
Lénon B
