Bubbling Over!

I'm bubbling over with excitement!

Seth Apter, from The Altered Page,  posted a beautiful video, titled Labuet- Paint a Song - about, as he says, "Bursts of colors. Bursts of birds. Bursts of words. And bursts of so much more."  You can see the video  here.  It's a "must super see!" In front of my house,  I saw a  streaming line of water from the non stop rain we've  been having.  The first thing I thought of was the  captivating streaming ink line from the video.

The rushing movement caught my eye as well as the intricate geometric patterns and sparkling reflections of light.

Delicately submerged just beneath the surface,

I glimpsed some leaves-  a gorgeous site!

In a previous post, Seth  showed us his vibrant art filled  Inspiration Boards that you can see here.  I thought about having a board of my own  as I  looked at the boards of the talented artists which Seth included in his post.  It was great to see all of the boards and inspiration shelves, walls,  and spaces  shown, but I didn't feel  the emotion of being "inspired".   I concluded that  it was because the boards were sights that touched the hearts of the artists - and "spoke to them".   I was left with the question, could I have an inspiration board or wall to inspire me too?  The answer was -not exactly... but- I was inspired to photograph  some of my pictures and nick knacks that I  love.  But the inspiration came from Seth's words.

 I realized that  my inspiration  comes from two places: people  -  through their thoughts, words, acts and energy, and from nature. There is nothing comparable to the sunrise, sunset,  our trees,  the sky,  our  land and all that grows on it, the air we breathe,  rainbows and now, one of my favorites  - walking in misty air -feeling the tiny raindrops of water touch my skin- surrounding me with a halo of softness that is just unmatchable!

Inspiration is such a personal emotion.  No matter where or from whom  it comes to you  - nourish and  appreciate  the amazing strength and power it has on our creativity,  artistic expression and  within  and throughout our daily lives.

Enjoy every moment!
