Beneath the Surface…

Sometimes on gray, Winter days, the idea of Spring feels very faraway…And then, during a walk last week on a warm, sunny day, I stumbled onto this “pop of color“!

Beneath the Surface

A wonderful, unexpected surprise!! So Nature provided a sneak peak of the colorful displays that are being planned beneath the surface!! I’m reminded that in Life, though I may not love the “Winter times“, perhaps they are necessary, in order to have the time for preparation, inspirations, and finally renewal…

So, this week is off to a good start here in the studio….with a burst of encouragement…knowing that tomorrow another ice storm is headed our way…but more confident that Spring is just under the surface and for me to just continue in the same manner~~here in the studio & in my Life!  🙂

I’d love for you to share with us in the Comments below! 

*Does your inspiration vary in the Winter time, or change with the seasons? What have you found that helps you continue with your art, work, or Life’s creative activities during these times?

May Showers Do bring May Flowers!

Another week in the studio is ending this afternoon…

I have finished layering the ocean scene for “Sea Images” #3! I am beginning to stitch from the top where the edges meet, a section at a time,  which will add design lines and details, using the machine similar to a pencil in a drawing…

Ocean Scene

This scene is going to become the “playground” for a school of “Fractured Fish”!

Another wonderful inspiration~~a pink flower after the rain!

May it cheer your day & brighten your weekend!
