Watercolor Demo {a one minute break}

Do you need a break? Grab a seat and watch this hilarious 1 minute video of my daughter in the foreground while I am working on a painting in the studio. She does this frequently, so I had no idea that this time she was taping it. (that's obvious... if I knew, I would have tried to look a little better :)

See.... I told you it was hilarious!

Beautiful Inspiration Boards

... so much inspiration, you cannot help but want to be creative and make something! The first image is my board in my studio. As you know, I love butterflies. The center print is from my friend, Katie Daisy! I just love the vibrant colors flowing into each other in such a graceful way... and the two prints on either side are from my friend Colette over at Raw Art Letterpress. I am in awe of the process of letterpress and I was so thrilled to receive my custom Bright, Bold, and Beautiful piece of art!

Check out some more beautiful inspiration boards to get you kick started today!
