time out

 

With the geese honking and the squash growing it is hard to believe autumn is already in our midst. 

Our life had so many changes as of a late, that my head is spinning and oh so forgetful. I'm trying to take small time outs from the left brain to just sit and rest in the creative right brain - even just for 10 min. 

So far I snuck in a beautiful misty walk with yellow leaves lining the road. A photo session going around the house snapping everything I love right now. Those black plump choke cherries, the smooth white lines of the squash and my latest paintings - vintage gals taking time outs as well. 

What about you? How do you sneak in bits of creativity into your busy lives?

Barbie 1950 Retro

The theme at Inspiration Alley this week is SO up my alley - Retro! I love all things vintage inspired. If it has a scratch on it, peeling paint or a bit of rust I hold on to that treasure and admire it for all the stories it could tell. One item I do not own yet, but have been on the lookout for is the 1950's Barbie! Just look at her...and that stripey bathing suit!

And so my art this week is completely inspired by her :)

 

Happy Paint Party Friday !
