do you ever feel the need to stop everything and find fresh inspiration? i feel this way several times a year… i always find something magical that’s not only beautiful but also challenging. last year it was Mary Blair. i’m currently looking for just that… something that gives me butterflies. i’ll let you know when i find it. 😉

whenever i need inspiration, i go spend time outside. nature is very inspiring <3
I love your nail color here. I’m off to find a perfect blue shade now!
Oh yes. It is different for me though because I am just a boring mum…you need your inspiration to make your life’s bread.
I am sure that is one of the reasons why you love your man so much because you have that in common (you are both creative) and you can share and support each other.
You have to wait a little until March, but I am sure you will get fantastic ideas and inspiration on your Hawaii holiday. It will be wonderful.

I absolutely love Mary Blair. My current inspiration is Trina Schart Hyman – beautiful and very medieval. X

Another of my favorites is Helen Dardik.

maybe read a children’s or young adult book … those things are FULL of imagination.
Mary Poppins or Lemony Snicket or Anne of Green Gables.
love love love.
To name another famous Disney artist, try Eyvind Earle – he did all the concept artwork for “Sleeping Beauty” and his landscapes are amazing! They kept a lot of his style for the final movie. One of my favorites by him:

I would LOVE to see some Roald Dahl paintings from you Elsie.
Don’t know if you have read Fantastic Mr. Fox, Charlie and Choc. Factory, The Witches, James and the Giant Peach.
I can totally see your spin on those tales and I love it!

PS The new Alice Movie looks AMAZING and right up your ally.
i also make them goodies to take into class and share. They get to pick the colors and stamps I use for those, too.
This has been very helpful understanding a lot of things. I’m sure a lot of other people will agree with me.
I like these articles , democratic countries formulate policies are both team and the interests of the people of power, http://www.jerseysky.com , I like the western and northern state policy.
