Inspiration Friday
Moon Brought Visions of Far Places
(Photo from Chadwick Tyler, Sarah Moon, Jac Remise, and the movie La Boheme. Not sure of the source of the sea picture.)
Yay! Happy Inspiration Friday! I’m really excited to get back painting now that everything is clean.I started sketching out the concept of what i’m going to paint… and needless to say, i’m really excited to start it. The Inspiration Friday set today was semi inspired by Dreams.
You know how in dreams, things that are strange and different exist in your dream, yet somehow they don’t seem out of place, and how most of the faces your see in dreams look familiar even though you may not know the people.Well this was kinda my starting concept with this set.I hope you like it and have a great inspirational day!

So! Last night I went to see the play, “Peter Pan” with my family! It was incredible, so much fun. That is only the 3rd play i have ever seen, but i am dying to see more. It’s so magical! I really hope you like the set of images today! I was really excited to work in one of my all time favorite pictures by my friend Chadwick Tyler (it’s the second image on the left). If you aren’t familiar with his work, check it out, it’s amazing :) Hope you are all having a great day!

Happy Harry Potter Day!
Well if you were wondering… yes I am a big Harry Potter nerd!
and yes i’m excited about the movie! :)
hahaha Also really excited cause my good friends from Texas, Eisley & Christie Dupree are coming into town today!
So it’s pretty much a double whammy today! ha
How has your week been?
Mine was alright, it’s just been a whirlwind for the last two years.
Which has been amazing, but also so so so exhausting.
I’m about ready to slow things down, and get back to Learning & Experimenting…
Which I’m pretty sure i get to start doing Monday.
I basically have a whole long list of things i want to try and learn how to do…
But i think the #1 thing on my list to learn is how to sculpt!
Seriously have always wanted to do that but never have got to.
Do any of you have anythings you would like to see me learn?
Also I really hope you like today’s selection of images for Inspiration Friday.
I’ve been really liking grouping Camilla Akrans & Norman Parkinson’s work together.
Not sure why, but it really works well together.
I hope you like this post and i truly hope you have a great weekend :)

How was your week?
It’s heating up a little bit after this cold summer,
which means my studio is painfully hot!
But besides that, it’s all good.
Wow i can’t believe it’s November already.
Been working non-stop for the last 3 months.
I’m just finishing up a few projects right now
And should have a little over 10 Paintings to show you next week.
Really excited about them, can’t wait for you too see them.
I hope you like the collection of images today! :)
