CreativeTherapy - Catalyst 24

Posted on | August 24, 2008 |

CreativetherapyThis week’s CreativeTherapy catalyst is “What inspires you?”

New Day

It was difficult to pick just one thing that inspires me. So many things inspire me - feeling healthy, the smile on my husband’s face, new art supplies, looking out my studio window… It’s a different thing each day. So I realized that the best way to say this is to paint a sunrise. Each morning’s possibilities inspire me. Each day I have an opportunity to look at the world in a new way and to figure out how to represent it in my art.

Technique:
Painting in watercolor on cold press watercolor paper.

    hmmm; I tried to click on your painting to enlarge it and was informed I don’t have permission to view it. Maybe because looking directly at the sun can cause eye damage? It really is a lovely painting and shows part of what inspires you.

    Love the landscape quilt and the painting is fantastic! Reminds me of something from the bible. “This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it.”
    Something I try to remember each morning even when things look bleak. Happy Tuesday Fran!
