what's inspiring me now



I have to say that I love when blogs have 'regular' features, familiar posts that I come to know and look forward to every week or month.
Now, since I’m a spontaneous, creative kind of girl who shies away from too many (more) commitments, I will not make any big proclamations about having a regular feature (as some days just keeping a consistent blog while running a business is commitment enough) BUT... I thought I’d give it a whirl with a regular feature of sharing 'what’s inspiring me now', since there’s always something inspiring me. And maybe if it brings inspiration to me, you might enjoy it too!
Having the I-phone is a big motivation behind this idea, because I can literally shoot a photo with the phone and blog it here almost immediately, which is what I happen to be doing with this very post. So if you see any strange words (since I’m texting this) or crazy weird formatting, just blame the IPhone.
As you know, if you’ve been following me for a while, my IPhone, and all of my photo apps, has slowly but surely also become my camera of choice.
Ok, then. That was a whole lot of backstory to share what’s inspiring me now ;)
Farmer’s Market Zinnias in our favorite white pottery barn vase, sitting on the brick fireplace threshold next to our pumpkin. Something about all the colors and textures, I’ve been enjoying this arrangement all week. And shot through the CrossProcess App, it almost looks like a beautiful still-life painting.

I also wanted to stop in and wish you a happy weekend!

I'm impressed you cant type that much on an iPhone!
I meant "CAN type that much" ~ I can't even type properly with a full-size keyboard, apparently! LOL
when i saw the photo i thought vintage still life. pretty marisa.
Dearest sweet marisa, flowers are also a huge part of my inspiration. I always love the photos you take from your lovely iphone! They are all just soo beautiful! Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to you!
It looks just like a still life painting. Thank you - the whole shot is beautiful!
LOL! your comment cracked me up! And yes I can't believe I typed that much on Iphone either. I will say that it probably took me an hour though ;)
Okay, great minds think a like :) I just started what I hope will be a regular feature: Monday Inspiration Celebration. Talk about synchronicity! Must be a by-product of thriving artists!

Beautiful image ... I could stare at it all day. And I have been having fun translating some of my Go Gocco ideas into painted postcards (I had a lot of ideas ... it was so hard to commit to just one!) which are a perfect size for me to do in a day.
