8 Things That Are Inspiring Me

the little free library (these adorable libraries are popping up all over madison),

purple and orange,

a fabulous cup of coffee enjoyed at a french bakery,

visiting cats on walks,

lovely pumpkins,

weathered metal,

the last of the flowers,

and pancakes with steel cuts oats, toasted walnuts and cranberries

(my new favorite)!

Art Evolution – From Girls to Owls & Portraits

When the lovely Theresa Andreas-O’leary nominated me to be part of the “3-in-5 challenge,” it got me looking through my portfolio and seeing just how my artwork has evolved over the years. I love to share my process from start to finish in my online classes because I find it so deceiving to just look at a finished painting, not knowing all of the time,... Continue reading

Inspired By The Little Things :: Fall Color & Owls

“What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.” -Walt Whitman ………… It has been such a gorgeous Fall here in Wisconsin. And I just cannot get over all of the color inspiration. I’ve also been seeing so many owls (and hearing them too). One evening, we had a bonfire in... Continue reading

12 Things That Are Inspiring Me

“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!” -Audrey Hepburn ………. I love to take photo walks, especially through places I have never been. I’ve gotten in the habit of taking myself on field trips where I get out of the studio and go someplace new and explore. Snapping photos in those places is so inspiring and really keeps me looking and being inspired... Continue reading

The little free library is a lovely idea! I was thinking you would return a book, but not necessarily the same one you took?

Gorgeous purples and oranges.

I love the concept of the free library – but had to laugh imagining it in my town – everything including the little house would be stolen within the hour!

I love that little library idea … I think that would be awesome in MN by the Chain of lakes. We have loaner bike rakes all over MPLS now, but if they added the little library that would be great! You could pay your buck for a bike, pick up a book, ride to a shady spot for a read. Pack up ride to you next destination, drop off bike and return book. NEXT 🙂
