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?

In the Studio….

The warm sunny, Spring days feel wonderful! This week the activity ~ blooming of flowers and budding of the trees in the forest~~ are encouragements inside the studio, as well as outside!

Purple flowers are being “painted” on the stems in, “Flowers in Field at Toledo”….

Flower “Paints”
“Painting” Purple Blossoms!

And the other new piece I am working on is the next piece in the series, “Sea Images”. I’ve been gathering fabrics and selecting the new color palette! Always fun to begin…

This large work will feature a whole school of Fractured Fish!!  Stay tuned to see as the background develops!

In the Studio…Changing Locations

Warm sunny days finally arrived and I moved my studio work to the front porch!!  It felt heavenly….

Warm breezes through the trees, birds happily singing, and inspirations all around!
