Saturday art inspirations...

Today I was sitting out in my parents beautiful front yard admiring the sunshine colored Iris' that were blooming. I was so inspired and decided maybe I would bust out my old watercolor set from high school. I just started sketching and I could not believe how my anxiety (which never leaves) was lifted away. 

Now I am deffinately out of practice. I haven't painted since High school art but I thought this turned out pretty decent for just jumping right in. I am deffinately going to keep painting because it such a good way to meditate.

My Dad's side of the family are all incredible artists. My Grandma always was inspiring my cousins and I to use our creative side. She was so talented just like her mother. I am so envious of their skills.

The picture below is my favorite

Here are some of my Great Grandma's paintings. She was also one of the original potters at Van Briggle Pottery. I think that is pretty cool. She was very talented. I would love to be able to create such beautiful paintings. (Ella also has the same birthday as her so maybe she will get her Great Great Grandma Emma's painting skills) 

The daisy painting is my absolute favorite!

Last but not least I have to brag about my Dad's amazing sculpting skills. He is so gifted. It's unbelievable. 

I am just in awe at how beautiful art work is. I could stare at them for hours. The talent that flows from some people is absolutely breath taking. I feel so lucky that I grew up so involved in the arts. I can not wait for Ella to begin exploring the arts!
