There's a thought, a story, or a memory behind each Inspiration Image. They are each chosen with the hopes that one of them will give you an idea of your own. It's a pleasure each month to watch the diverse pieces of art that you create and add to Inspiration Collaboration. You're come up with art in your photography, oil painting, wood burning, crochet, acrylic, collage, jewelry, pen and ink, colored pencil, floral arrangement, quilting, scrapbook pages, poetry, watercolor...

I’ve been thinking about all the amazing patterns in nature.
There’s instant recognition even if we see just a small part of the whole. We
know the hexagons of a honeycomb, the swirl of a seashell, the spots on a
leopard, the zig-zag of a lightning bolt, the stripes on a zebra, the rings of
a tree stump, the scales of a fish, the orb of a spider web, the diamonds on a
pineapple skin, and the eye-shaped design on the feathers of a peacock. |
November Inspiration 2: A Pop of Colour by Sara Harley
 |
| November in Nova Scotia is typically grey and dreary, sometimes downright dismal. The pop of bright red crabapples is an unexpected and cheery sight on a rainy day. Isn't it interesting how a simple colour can bring us joy? |

Can an
image be poetic? My students and I used to use "I
wonder..." statements when reading a poem. I wonder who owned this barn... I wonder who dug the well... I wonder if animals still live
here... I wonder why they painted it
red... I wonder if the water from the
well tastes fresh... I wonder if there is hay in the
loft... I wonder why there is no farm equipment... I wonder if there's a musty hay-like
smell... I wonder if they had cows... or
sheep... or goats... or a donkey... I wonder if anyone still uses
this barn... I wonder… |

| Some people appreciate minimalism, some don’t. I love the graphic elements of a minimalist image. |
