Balloon Launch

I took these pictures at a memorial for my friend's child who passed away a year ago. It was a beautiful moment and I tried to capture the visual experience of the balloons floating up into the sky.

One of my goals this summer is to get back into painting. I may use this picture for my next project. I'll keep you posted.

I find myself looking all around at nature and objects and wishing I could frame that in that moment in a picture. May need to carry a camera with me more often.

Why I did this...

So you're at work and things are crazy busy and all of a sudden an idea pops into your head. What do you do? I have atleast 3 sketchbooks around me at all times. One is a mini sketchbook that fits in my purse for those moment on the bus/train/wheelbarrow when you get a spark of inspiration.

But then what?

I *hope* to share my ideas and get feedback to help flush things out and sharpen my skills.

This blog will showcase my doodles, sketches, paintings, pictures and random thoughts as they come to me. I can't say I'll be posting on a regular basis (can you really schedule inspiration?) but I will update this blog for inquiring minds.

Peace
Michelle
