What inspires me? Drinking a steaming mug of tea outside first thing in the morning, listening, watching birds and butterflies and writing whatever comes to mind. Being quiet at night and looking at the moon. And I am inspired by new beginnings, fresh starts, the changing seasons. I am also inspired by other people’s creations and watching them live their passions and heart’s desires. And I’ve been “inspired” to dig up an old poem I wrote about noticing the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Sending love to your kitty Leah.

Good children’s literature is always uplifting and Maurice Sendak is one of the best! Can’t wait for that movie!
I just came back from a business trip in Vegas last month and what inspired me most was seeing the Cirque du Soleil show KA at MGM Grand. It was PHENOMENAL! I bought the backstage DVD, CD with the music and the book that details the storyline as this is the one Cirque show ever that has a completely theatrical motif of a story throughout. It was magical…my daughter will be dancing in a special show in the spring that is Cirque-esque…and I am contemplating making jewelry inspired by the entire story line of this show. If you ever have the chance to see any Cirque, jump at it! And buy the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack too!
Enjoy the day!

Lately I’ve been inspired by the little details of living. Rather than the conceptual paintings of Flying Girl, or the ornamental doodles of flowers, or even the drawing and painting requests of my kids, I’m just trying to draw little bits of my life. A flower here, a coffee cup there, a watergun or snack so. And journaling. Taking notes on the life as it happens.

I always get a lot of inspiration from nature. I walk a lot with my dog so I am always on the lookout for colors and shapes. My flower gardens and my husbands veggie garden are such eye candy and the changing seasons are especially inspiring. I just love fall so I will soon be in my glory here in N.E. Pa! I also get a lot of inspiration from reading and recently was moved to do my first “series” after reading an article by Rande Hanson in Somerset Studio (with one palette) Her color combinations were some that I enjoy using myself and that was all the inspiration I needed to get started. I will try to upload them on my blog later today.

books: Art Revolution by Lisa L Cyr and Creative Paint Workshop for Mixed Media Artists by Ann Baldwin;

talking with other artists, seeing their work, kicking around collaboration ideas. our show was very slow last night but it gave us time to really look at each other’s work & talk about techniques to try. yahoo groups are also great for this as are other artist’s blogs. one of my blog friends suggested the Lisa Cyr book in fact.

trying new media, learning new things always gets the juices going. if i’m stuck i buy a book or look into the dusty art supplies & usually get going again.

nature always- love the landscape & sky, birds, wildflowers, etc…

ced has kept me inspired to think about art every day, whether i can actually manifest ot not, but to understand that sometimes the creative process is going on in the brain before being born.

i seem to have more inspriation than time to act on it these days!

Good vibes to Sadie kitty. Sueno doggie had a large lump removed from her chest last year. They said keep her quiet when I brought her home. Ha! We gave her some “quiet down” medicine. Ha! Needless to say Sueno doggie came out of the whole thing better then her Mommy, here, who became a nervous wreck trying to make sure her stitches didn’t pull out. She is still fine. I am sure Sadie kitty will be too. Sueno whispered so in my ear.

Hello Leah,
Wow, that trailer of where the wild things are, gave me goose bumps, very mooving and left me wondering, where is my wild thing gone? Hmmmm, very risky question, could open up a huge can of worms, let’s hope!
When I was 11 I was in a play of “Where the wild things are” and we came second in a competition, but the play it self has so much more meaning for me now than it did then…if only i knew then what i know know! Thanks for the inspiration, I am going to have to take this energy somewhere…Angie ox
