June Monthly Challenge Recap

The beautiful leaves and petals of the painting Feuilles, 1928 by Seraphine Louis seems to be shimmering and moving. It is vibrant and full of life. A perfect image to kick off summer, with the abundance of flowers blooming all around. The reds and pinks, the oranges and yellows, the greens and whites... these colors feel so alive. Obviously, you agreed because there was so much creativity happening!

the Essence of Summer- Inspiration Post

Inspiration can be humble. Life's simple pleasures. Summer exudes inspiration right outside the front door. My new art bead collection celebrates the fleeting midwest summer.

Inspired by...

Porch-sitting on balmy summer nights. 

Watching winged creatures-of-the-dark. 

Muted and moody.

Digging in the dirt. Harvesting dinner- fresh from the soil. 

Planting a seed and growing something beautiful. 

Earthy. 

Lush.

  The textures of time: rust, moss, patina. 

Bike rides. 

Walking barefoot. 

Eating watermelon (and spitting the seeds). 

Punchy bright colors. Fruity and fresh. 

Thank you for letting me share a glimpse of my home and heart. I hope the remainder of your summer is joyful and inspiring!
