The rhythms and cycles of the seasonal changes will of course have an effect on our reactions and moods.
The visual changes are stimulating, and the temperature changes create automatic responses in our minds and bodies.
Spring is a lively time, full of freshness and new beginnings.
Motivated by the sight of bright flowers and new shoots, its a time when we might find ourselves attracted to vibrancy.
Splash the colours you see around you onto paper or canvas.
Let go of form and perspective, just capturing the colours is an excellent way to wake up your senses after a long, dark winter.
Summer encourages us to take things a little slower and step outside.
Recuperating and soaking up the sun rays, it's a time of taking notice of the brightness intensity of the world around you.
Autumn, very different to spring and summer, where leaves turn red and golden and orange.
A time of harvesting, are your ideas ready to harvest, or will they need more time? Do they need reshaping or pruning, to help them grow strong?
Winter is naturally a time of hibernation, regeneration and rest but a good time too to keep in contact with others to avoid becoming a hermit.
Read books by the fire, do some investigation of ideas that may have come up during autumn and let the ideas mull like wine.
