little yellow dreams

i caught myself day-dreaming about a
sweet little yellow house again....

isn't it great how your paintbrush
always knows what's on your heart?

no matter where you look,
creativity can always be found.....

just follow the path that inspiration lays out for you.

and as you travel along,  you never know when
fantastic surprises will appear...... 

  so make sure you have a fork and a napkin in your art box,
just in case......heeheehee

inspiration monday

sometimes no matter how long you sit and stare at the blank page,

the ideas just won't come, and it's easy to get into a creative slump.

so when that happens, here's a remedy for whatever ails you:

 as long as you do what you truly love to do....

 try not to get distracted by what everyone else is doing....
forget about all those self-imposed pressures....
and create artwork that's true to your heart.....

{and especially just please yourself....}

 you'll be able to write your own personal prescription for creativity....
and inspiration will help you, because it's always the best medicine!
(well, next to chocolate, that is...... :))
