My He(ART)-Full Life

inspiring me ...

*this luscious book on Modern Indian art called the Flamed Mosaic...stunning, amazing, inspiring! + my brass Buddha...always reminding me to be...present

* my beautiful baby girl-I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She inspires me to be a better person...in every choice, in every moment. I don't always live up to my expectations but...I try, I try, I try

* Just picked up the current issue of Artful Blogging...dripping with ideas, heart and eye candy!

* unpacking my art supplies...jewel-toned colors, old paintbrushes, jars of paint and inks...set my heart racing!

*best of all..Tara and I collaborated on  a painting just yesterday!! She teaches me so much-to be in the moment and let loose, to have fun and make a happy mess! To be joyful in the creating. The most difficult part of our art time...putting the paints away!! She's such  a great artist-I am going to frame this for her nursery.
What's inspiring you lately?

First of all, that photo of the beautiful Tara in her sweet sundress is oh-so-precious! And painting with you... perfect. It must be so thrilling to finally unpack your art supplies. Oh, I have that copy of Artful Blogging and see that I have 4 friends in there, 3 that I know and have met personally!! How exciting!!! Just the presence of my studio is inspiring me, but they are still working on the patio and I haven't been able to even set foot in there lately. Just a tad frustrating.... (gonna have to finish up TODAY!)
