a little bit of inspiration

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

Nothing inspires me more than COLOUR…. when I look at colours and I feel happy, I know that I have been inspired.. I have so many things that surround me at all times that are so colour rich.. and that is what keeps me making art…. why do you think I love scrapbooking paper so much?  For such an inexpensive price, I have a 12*12 sheet of pure and utter inspiration… inspiration that I am pretty confident is “artistically” correct where colours are put together for a reason.. and for that reason, I always have little swatches of my scrapbook papers that I love stuck down in an inspiration journal… whenever I am in a “rut”.. I flip through that book and see yummy color combos that I would have never thought of!  So the next time you are in a scrapbook store and pick up a paper that “speaks” to you.. don’t put it back down and say “i don’t need another piece of paper”! LOL.. I know we all do that.  For the $1.00 or so that it costs, it is sooo worth the feeling you get when you look at it.. Ok?  ya hear me out there? LOL

Here is a painting that i started that is not yet finished.. or it may be cuz I can’t touch it..LOL… these colours can hang around me ALL DAY LONG.. I wouldn’t mind :)

hope you are inspired and creative today!

And these colors may be too “sharp” on your screen but in real life, they are soooo happy
