From My Book Shelf: How Georgia Became O"Keeffe

I picked up a book recently that caught my eye by Karen Karbo titled, How Georgia Became O'Keeffe.  I love Georgia O'Keeffe's skulls and of course her amazing flowers. But what I really want to know, is how she was as an artist....as a person. What were her methods? Did she get blocked? How did she overcome this? I think once you know more about anybody, the more connected you feel....so this is my next read!

For the last few months I have been a little bored with things. I haven't had an "Ah, Ha" moment it what feels like an eternity. I know it will come eventually but waiting and wondering can be tough! So, I continue with my artistic musings in other areas, take walks, pick up rocks or leaves that catch my eye, noodle around in a florist shops, daydream.......and ponder. Hoping my muse will give me inspiration........soon!

This week I've been just watching, looking, exploring.....finding inspiration in the world around me. Looking to be inspired.......looking for a new direction. Dinner with a friend tonight.......poking around my favorite florist shop, strolling thru the Conservatory......playing with things.  This is how I go about looking for inspiration. I wish I lived near the ocean........I'd love to walk a beach right now :)
