Flea Market Art...SCORE!

Art through Mock Orange Branches.

The composition is really nice, and the colors are perfect!

This weekend I was out and about doing a couple things for clients.  I dropped by a flea market a bit outside of town and came across this painting.  $5 ya'll!  I KNOW, right?  The vendor was packing up his truck, and he saw me glancing at it, "I'll give it to you for 5 Bucks." I thought about it for a split second, "SOLD!".  He then goes on to say that his daughter painted it when she was in college...I hope she isn't devastated that he sold it...and if she is, he says he sold it for more.

Some art that comes out of college art classes, can be A. Better than you would expect and B. Really inexpensive.   I know it isn't "fine" art, but it really ties the colors of my living room together, and for $5 you couldn't find an 8 X 10 frame, much less a 40"X40" yellow one! 

My ever evolving mantle now has something new on it, which makes me H-A-P-P-Y!

It is spring break here...not going out of town....and LOTS of house projects I want to finish.  Since I am tied to the house, hopefully I will get them done:)

Summing it up.

I know, I know, I have been away for a while.... The above quote might sum it up best.  I have been watching, soaking it in,  with my computer closed at home, which is when I blogged the most.

 

Call it spring fever,(watching my little man help with the gardening)

call it priorities, (my family, they make me smile:)

call it uninspired (maybe over inspired, there is so much out there, you can go into sensory overload sometimes and feel like you are going to crack!)

  call it lazy....(I have just been waiting for the inspiration to hit me)

call it ALL OF THE ABOVE...

the blog was put on the back burner. 


I am tipping my toes back in the water.

Because it has sprinkled a little inspiration, and I feel like I just might be getting my drink of water....I might be finding the balance, between too much inspiration and not enough, too much work and feeling distant from my family...sometimes it is just a good thing to step away for a while and prioritize.

So while my posts may still be spotty, know that I am still here...filling up my cup:)
