This week I took up my watercolours for the first time in years. By my back door I have pot and pots of polyanthus It is time they were planted out in the garden as they are starting to look scrappy. I find that their colours inspire me in winter where there is just green and more green. I am quite pleased with the leaves, but the actual flowers themselves I am not so impressed. However, I really enjoyed painting them as they had given me much pleasure over the winter. Flowers are so inspiring.
I
started to think about what inspires me the most and trawled through
my files and came up with these images. It is interesting to look at
your old work. Well nearly old they have been executed over the last
year or so.
Things that give me inspiration
butter
wouldn't melt in their mouth boys and cute little girls
naughty
children and harassed teachers
in
your face teenage girls and sulky teenage boys
beautiful
young girls and elegant ladies
tired
husbands and exhausted wives
eccentric
old ladies and grumpy old men
fat
cats and naughty cats
YES
I am inspired by all of these as we are all so different from each other:
Each
of us is an original

and
We
must thank God at all times for you,
friends,
you whom the Lord loves.

a wonderful week and happy creating.
