What's Inspiring You Today?

I've been very inspired lately by Traci Bautista's art journaling blog.  She has such freedom in her artwork, and she blogs almost daily with all kinds of art journaling inspiration. I can't believe the amount of creative energy she has!  Laurie is taking a class called "Big Paint," and, even though I'm not in the class, I love the idea of it.  Pippa just posted these very cool doodle birds.  I was channeling all these lovely, imprecise, free-form inspirations today when I took out my art journal and started throwing paint around on the page to create this background.
For the message on my page today, I was inspired by Tammy Lee Bradley, a terrific photographer who captures everyday beauty in so many of her posts, like this one.  I also came across a wonderful quote on Ali Edward's blog about finding the meaning of life in the ordinary.  It reads "the ordinary has extraordinary value in isolating meaningful experience."  I almost used that quote on this art journal page, but instead went for the Pooh classic: "Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known."
