These daisies that grow in my yard always make me smile. They're so cheerful. Looking at them one day I was struck with the thought that they looked like they were dancing. From that came this piece which I call Dancing Daisies:
These little black and white butterflies often visit the daisies and were what inspired me to paint this butterly pendant. Taking a little artistic license, I set the scene in twilight:
Common household items can be sources of inspiration too. For instance, this hurricane lamp is the first thing I see when I wake up each morning and I'd often thought a pair of earrings in this shape would be cool. This is the result:
The headboard on my bed has some scroll work I've been eyeballing lately and there's this lamp in my living room...hmmmmmm.
What I've found is that inspiration is all around us; one just has to look at things in a new light. Next time you're feeling at a loss creativity wise, take a stroll through your home or yard and view the things you see every day like you're seeing them for the first time. You might be surprised at the inspiration you find.
