Dear Audy,
Sticking to my perspective that art is productive, I have had a very productive day! I've been getting over a cold and today, after a few days of fog, I woke up feeling inspired. I was so inspired that I had trouble going back to sleep (as it was ridiculously early when I woke up) and kept coming up with ideas about different projects that have been stirring in my mind for a while...I came up with a brilliant sewing project that I'm dying to try, it's a small item so I might be able to do it even incapacitated. I'm keeping it a secret until I can see if it works...
Today I decided to focus my energy into finishing a project that I can't believe I've had sitting there unfinished for so long...my painting of Ada. I seemed to hit some sort of block and just wasn't inclined to work on this painting for a while...but today I was back at it full throttle. Ada is the latest in my collection of imaginaiaids, she's the nymph that inspires a friend of mine.
I got swept up into the painting realm and played there in that reverie for five albums...inspiring my ears today were Stephanie Dosen, K.T. Tunstall, She & Him, Regina Spektor & Jenny Owens Young....I guess you could say it was a girly sing-a-long kinda day!
Here's a little sneak peek at where she's at...it might seem like I have been painting this for as long as time has existed...but it's all in the details, Audy.
I've had a few little smudgy mishaps and learnt a few valuable lessons, but I reckon she's pretty happy with her depiction!
In other news...we had an awesome hail storm a few days ago. Hail the size of marbles came pelting down like the clouds had decided to go to war. They seemed to be flying onto my balcony from all angles...my poor little succulent babies suffered a little damage, they don't fair so well in hail!
I'm all worn out now! Hope Rella is fired up again tomorrow!
Love & Random Inspiration,
Caf

Glad you've been so inspired lately, it's a wonderful feeling! Although ugh, I know what you mean when you're trying to sleep and that's when all the good ideas keep coming! I don't see why inspiration can't hit during the day when I'm NOT trying to sleep! :P
And wow that painting is so beautiful! You're so talented! Love how you did her hair, makes me want to go dye my hair all different colors! :D
Oh and your comment was so interesting, because I've been reading this book called "The Tipping Point" and it was talking about the same thing you said, about how the more people there are witnessing a crime, the more likely no one will help at all. :(
Anyway hope you're having a lovely week dear! <3
xoxo,
