Golden Lotus Blossom


My creative inspiration grows like a flower in my heart. Before the flower can bloom into a piece of art
it goes through a growing process from its roots. I have contemplated this deeply and came up with
the letters from the word inspiration to explain the unfolding:
Inspiration Avenue
Nature
Spiritual seeds
Passion
Ideas
Reflection (joy)
Angst
Truth
Imagination
Opportunity
Need

This  watercolor piece was done for  Inspiration Avenue blog party challenge "What inspires you?
What gives you wings?"

  6. The stem poem is very cool and I have copied it into my journal if you don't mind...and the blues and pink contrasting in the artwork is great. Great post xx
