This week I was experimenting with color palettes for future projects and workshops and was so inspired by the colors that I mixed that I wanted to create with it right away.

I was reminded that when inspiration hits in any way… always follow that thread. See where your inspiration will lead you. No idea or thought about what inspires you is silly. We just need to explore it to see if it needs a little more attention. Allow each step to inform you and give you clues to what you like and what you don’t.

And that’s what I did today. I was curious about this color palette and my hunch was right that these colors work really well together. I could see this color palette in landscapes, florals and abstracts.

Every time we show up and try something … it’s a good thing.

Never doubt your curiosity and ideas. Always go with you gut and try it. I’ll share more about this journey in the video. Enjoy watching and always know that you are loved.
