Color, Creation, and Inspiration

"Seven Royal Colors Play Rainbow Ride"

Hello, Readers! Sometimes stories are channeled through art. My mind tends to travel down random conceptual tangents that wind up linking different ideas together. Skipping around on the creative path, no matter where it leads, permits me to follow along and let creative spirit show the way. 

As creation grows, so do stories. I like to listen to audio books while I work. Many of the books I listen to are about philosophy and quantum science, two topics I love to engage with. The books I digest influence my creative work, and I think it's interesting to see the elements that appear in a finished project. 

There is a lot happening on the story front these days; the 3rd book in the Fairday Morrow series. The Master's Emporium, is in the works, along with a WIP that's been brewing up a storm lately. So, while the story cauldron is simmering, here are some of the art projects I've recently completed. 

The more you look, the more you see; truth lies betwixt the lines. Nature's spirits are my muse, and when I explore the essence of natural patterns on a deeper level, I always find myself lost in a mad splash of matter. After all, that's where it's all happening!

  11. Vibrant colors! I do chores listening to podcasts but when I'm working online, it's just music and preferably instrumental when I need to proofread. Lol! I haven't started on an audiobook yet. I prefer reading the text.

    1. Lux- I love that there are so many different things we can listen to depending on what we are doing and what we are in the mood for. I love audiobooks- but I know that some people don't enjoy them. I like reading texts too. :) And sometimes- I just want silence!

  12. Hi Jess - thank goodness this hadn't dropped off my Feedly - so very late ... apologies. I don't do podcasts ... and when I'm out and about - am happy having my thoughts power through my grey cells. I love your colours and they'd sparkle so many little girls' creative cells.

    Your Rainbow Rides are delightful - though I'd be fearful of all the eyes, even though you've taken me to Eyelands! The purple is gorgeous ... I loved Morning Glory Rose Garden ... I'll never look at morning glory in the same way.

    Congratulations - cheers Hilary
