Puddles of Inspiration



Hi there.
I have a new journal page to show you.  
It rained here in Southern California all day on Sunday, which inspired me to paint the rain.

First I painted the clouds and added the rain and puddles with my white Sakura Souffle pen that I think I'm now re-addicted to!  I love the sheen of it against the matte background.  I wanted to add a quote about rain, but I couldn't find one that I liked, so as I was adding more rain and puddles I came up with this phrase...

"Fresh ideas
 Pour down like rain
Leaving behind 
Puddles of Inspiration"




But what good are puddles if you don't have galoshes? 
 Don't worry, I added some fun red ones that you can use!


So what are you waiting for?  Go ahead... put these on and jump on into your own "puddles of inspiration"!

That is a sweet journal page Esther. Makes me want to go out and buy a pair of rubber rain boots.

I think I can use that saying Esther. It hasn't stop raining here either! Did you make the saying up yourself?
