Your Art Inspired by Little Treasure

Enjoy the art inspired by Helen's painting, Little Treasure
(The Inspiration Image is at the bottom of this post.)


Jeanne King: Red Box
Collaged box using decorative papers and embellishments
All that red! Both Helen and Sara featured red in their inspiration pieces and red is my favorite color! This is a box for holding special treasures; surely you have one or two of those, don’t you? 


Sara Harley: Little Pleasures
Composited Photograph

In January, Helen provided a blueberry muffin as inspiration. The image I created in response was accepted (and sold!) at an exhibit called Palate. After finishing at the gallery, we had a lovely time exploring and ended up at a country store filled with everything imaginable. I bought myself a winter hat with a huge pom pom on top. My husband still can't believe that I wear this hat, as I typically wear black or grey. I consider it a little pleasure, my small statement of fashion fun. Our little inspiration group has influenced me in many ways!

AJ: Hat & Scarf

What kinds of hats do you wear? Either metaphorically (grandma, artist, cook, gardener) or actually on your head (toboggan to keep you warm, wide brimmed to shield your face from sun, baseball cap to keep your hair up)?
I once said to my sister who wears hats beautifully, “I wish I had whatever it takes to be able to wear a hat.”  She replied, “All it takes it to put one on your head.”
Thanks Rebecca Marinoni for capturing this image with her camera and allowing me paint it.
