  2. I have been feeling a bit over-inspired. Maybe we can balance each other out?

    I hope you had a good time with the paints!

    Love you!

  3. your blog looks great. getting your inspiration partners out is a wonderful way to get the creative energy flowing. paint, brush, paper, music. sounds like heavenly bliss ..........
    Also I wanted to thank you ... I linked over to Kelly Lish's blog from your button you have here and ended up winning her give away.
    I was so excited. Everything is starting to feel very real to me in this on line community.
    Thanks Kolleen for coming over to my blog and saying hi and leaving comments
    I hope you get more and more inspired as the week goes on

  6. such a good idea to just 'paint yourself through' the ebbs and shine on no matter what... and then find you're happily in your flow again. what a gorgeous journal kolleen, I love the rich colour! happy monday to you too lovely! x

  11. You Go GIRL! Love your painting! Also love your new Banner! Such a Beautiful Lady! Just popping in to say hi and to let you know I'm having a GIVEAWAY over at my place. I just reached 100 Followers and thought it would be nice to have a lit'l celebration.

    So if you're interested pop over for a peek, okay. Again..LOVIN' your newest painting! Makes me want to create a collage..something I haven't done much of. See what happens when I pop in at your place..INSPIRATION hits me and I now need to either Dance or Paint. Maybe I'll do both!

    Hugs of Love & Friendship,
    Terri

  17. LOVING your blog header (that photo is SO beautiful!) and your wonderful, serene background! Looks so nice! I totally just went through this overwhelm and getting back into the studio (with no expectations) was such a key to lift my spirits. Buying new art supplies is an amazing motivator too :)
