inspiration monday


you are a beautiful artist.

there's no one else like you.
you have been blessed with a unique talent...
and no one else can create art the way you create.
not the other artists in magazines,
or the other artists on blogs,
or the other artists in museums.

it's you.....
beautiful, blessed, unique, talented you....
creating art exactly the way you were meant to create.....

straight from your heart.

journal page created from my heart using ledger paper, scrap papers, decorative tapes, handcarved thumbprint stamp, micron pens, watercolor pencils, 2B graphite pencil

  21. Lori, this is a ripple in a pond idea, how far will the rings spread out?! I love this and needed to hear this today, too!!!

    We all need to realize that even if we are inspired by another artist, it still is our touches, our picks, our imprint, thumbprint or fingerprints that makes our art unique~ Sometimes we start our work with their inspiration, but in doing so, we find our own ripples in the pond, our own rock to skip. Then we can find our path to our soul's beauty~ Thank you xXx
