Inspiration: Shadows

Shadows are in reality, when the sun is shining, the most conspicuous thing in a landscape, next to the highest lights.-Bayard Ruskin

So many times we just buzz through our day and never take notice of the beauty around us so today I would like you to slow down and explore the shadows of an ordinary day.Shadows create amazing patterns not just from solid things around us but in our life as well. If we don’t have shadows we can’t see the details in anything.

Shadows allow us to see light more vividly and provide us with respite when the light is too intense. They allow us to find and see beauty in function and form.

Shadows can turn the most ordinary, mundane thing into a piece of are if it is viewed through open eyes and mind.
Go out today and study some shadows and see what beauty and amazement you might find.

Inspiration: Rain

As an artist it is important to look to the everyday and ordinary to find inspiration. The common, the known, the usual seen from a creative or just different perspective can inspire others and that is what my art is about inspiring others. Each of us is creative in our own way, find your medium and your muse and create!!!
My inspiration today was rain and the beauty that it brought to the city.

The purple reflections in the raindrops caught my eye. It reminds me that we are a reflection of what we are around and it is with in our power to chose what we reflect by choosing what we are around

Asphalt in the city it is everywhere and something we don’t normally look at as artistic. But with rain gently dancing on the asphalt it takes on a beautiful quality. Look for beauty in everything around you.

Raindrops hanging on preparing for their ascent to water the ground. Nourishment is something that is provided in multiple ways to us. Food and water are the obvious but we also get nourishment from the words of others, the smiles of others and the actions of others. Are you preparing for your ascent?

Inspiration: People

Oneness is very simple: everything is included and allowed to live according to its true nature. This is the secret that is being revealed, the opportunity that is offered. How we make use of this opportunity depends upon the degree of our participation, how much we are prepared to give ourselves to the work that needs to be done, to the freedom that needs to be lived. L. Vaughan-Lee

People are all around us everyday but do you truly see them and the freedom they are or are not living?

How do you define freedom? Are you free in your life? Are you enjoying the things that make you happy or are you just existing? When was the last time you took a walk and observed others and looked at things through their eyes?

Obviously happiness is subjective. Those who live life with simplicity may find happiness in things that others look at and say how sad that is all they can do. Some define happiness as family others as being alone. Take a look around you today how are people defining happiness with their actions?

In their own freedom some people look lost or misdirected but for them there is happiness, completeness in their freedom. Open your eyes to the beauty of difference and find expression for what stirs it you.
