Hi Friends
I'm doing some inspirational travel
on this 28th day of my birth month~~
I will be back soon,
but till then,
I had to stop in and say hello.
While I love to get out in the world
viewing nature around me,
I realize,
I really don't have to go far
for the inspiration to create.
Most of the time, it is right here at home.
Here and there
among the treasures I love,
the books I read
and the views right outside my window.

So I curl up in a comfy chair to read beautiful words
view gorgeous photos
and settle on thoughts and joys.

Nesting this time of year,
gathering and reflecting on creations that will follow.

Music has always been inspiring to me.
Listening to the rhythm
of beautiful note combinations
seem to show me the way and direction.

It's the harmony and the chords,
the melody
and
the rhythm that speak to my heart.
So I take up my sketch book and draw some thoughts.
As one stroke leads to another,
I put color to my world.

Putting love into the ideas.
Finding Inspiration
doesn't really have to take me too far away.
doesn't really have to take me too far away.
Where do you find inspiration?
Far or close by?
Travel or home?
Travel or home?
Within your thoughts, music and heart?
~Wishing you joy~
See you when I return!

What a lovely post! I agree you do not have to wonder far to find inspiration! Have a happy weekend!
Hi Celeste,
I agree with you, sometimes all that it takes is for me to rummage through some old books, magazines or have a peek in my art room through old journals.
You are always filled with inspiration and the love that you put into your work makes us all feel so comforted as we visit you. Have a beautiful weekend.

Inspiration is everywhere! Your painting is always an inspiration to me Celeste. You even inspire me to get my brushes out and dabble in my paints! My little grand even asked me to paint her a picture for her birthday... she loved it!
I'm sure you're finding inspiration on your birthday getaway. Have a fabulous time!!
Love & hugs, Edie

Celestina, I find inspiration in nature - it always clears the mind and brings me such peace. I'm so glad to hear that you will be spending time in nature too. Happy Birthday to my very dear blog friend.
love, ~Sheri
happy birthday to you celeste! enjoy your trip!
I grab mine anywhere I can find it. I love to go shopping in the kitchen and bedding depts to absorb color. I love nature for perfect balance. I enjoy music to bring calmness to my soul or to get my hind end moving when things need done.
Love all your photos...and the keys and roses.
Happy birthday dear Celeste, and I hope you have a wonderful time away. Getting away sometimes gives me a different perspective on things, and I come home inspired and filled with new ideas.
Hope this is the case with you, too, although as you say, it seems you find lots of inspiration at home too.
Hope you enjoy your trip and your birthday. Lovely work, your roses are exquisite! ~Diane
Well I must say friend that this post has given me such joy this morning and even brought a tear to my eyes. You inspire greatly! Enjoy your birthday trip. Make some memories! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
