Lucid Poppies
Last Sunday I was obsessively creative. I returned to a childlike state, I could not stop drawing, painting, creating — trying my best to capture everything I experience. As M said, I “broke myself down and started from a blank slate”, no preconceived notions, seeing the world again for the first time. I want to share this set of watercolor paintings I created that day. They are how I see poppies – straight down into them so I can smell them. Read on for more paintings.
For Tomorrow
Currently in Florida, still on a happy high from Amanda’s & Adam’s wedding. I actually snapped this photo during the start of the reception over at the gorgeous Bella Collina in Monteverde, FL. Then inspired by Julian Bialowas, via today’s Revolution.Is, I combined the photo with one of my favorite quotes by Picasso that my friend Jerlyn shared with me earlier this month. It translates to ”Leave for the morning only what you are willing to leave undone if you died.” Hope you find it inspiring & motivating! The full 1280×960 pixel image is also available.

Patterns are always a characteristics I look out for; they give history, ambiance, balance and are used for more practical purposes. Here are a few of my favorite from the area.
