a little flower and sunshine inspiration from nature
a gorgeous day…lots of sunshine and wow the colors of the flowers are stunning. getting outside for a walk was just what I needed.
I couldn’t resist this picture….a place in the sun to read a good book or soak up some rays…what a way to spend a spring afternoon.
Spring time and creativity
Spring has arrived…and this year it totally took me by surprise. Of course, that could be because I have been on the road traveling from home to Texas, back home, back to Texas on to Arkansas and now back home. Since the end of January I have been on the go and have experienced weather changes on the road from North Carolina to Texas to Arkansas to North Carolina. Spring happened while I was on the road and upon arriving home this week it looks like it has been around for a while. However, that is ok since spring is my favorite season, and I certainly am happy to see warm weather, green grass, blooming trees and flowers dotting the landscape. The cold dreary days of winter are gone and now I can come out of hibernation.
So, that brings me to creativity…I’m working on new artwork and photography and creating handmade journals for my Etsy shop //www.etsy.com/shop/vickieleadesigns.
My goals for licensing my art haven’t changed…just have had a few delays in my progress. All of this traveling has made me even more aware of how much I want to create art. The trips were necessary, I’m glad I could go and because I am an artist I took my art with me…maybe didn’t get as much accomplished as I would have liked; however, even sitting and doodling is progress for me. Doodling seems to lead me to new design ideas and keeps my mind connected to my art.
Hope your spring brings creative activities and lots of wonderful sunshine!
Bloom
Just around the corner…sooner than we think…blooms will appear on the trees and flowers will spring up in all their glory and I will be happy! Spring is my favorite season. We have begun shaking off the short days of winter that have given little sunshine and been filled with cold, rain, snow and sleet. Spring brings relief from the wintery blast and the earth begins to live again with bright, beautiful color with longer and warmer days. The promise of new life is enough to make me sing!
So…I will bloom with renewed vigor…planting seeds and flowering plants in my little flower garden. And…I continue to plant new designs into my portfolio of hope!
Enjoy the sunshine when it arrives…
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~ Charles Dickens
