Got Inspiration?

Where do you find inspiration when the well is running dry? I find it everywhere! It is a matter of training your brain to look for it. Here are some things around my house that might inspire me:
a rug,

a favorite skirt,

a fake daisy (the only fake plant I have).

Your blogs are also a major source of inspiration. Before I head out to my garage most days, I check out some of your blogs for some brain stimulation. Sara's Art House is one of my favorites. Her paintings and colors make me smile. I don't copy, I don't think, " I am going to paint something just like she did," I just look and appreciate the creativity. It jump starts my creativity. So, if you are not already a fan of Sara's, check her out today. And thanks for the inspiration!

  1. You are so sweet! I am honored to be an inspiration! I am like you - I look around the house and see things and think - oooh I want to incorporate that into a painting.

    I am inspired by your swirls that you do. Keep up the great work!

  4. In decorating, I always begin with one thing I adore. Sometimes it's just an accessory. I found wall paper that I thought was beautiful and it became the inspiration for my master bath.
