| Purple Gumtree Leaf Faery AVAILABLE FOR SALE HERE mixed media painting 8.3 x 5.8" |
This weeks inspiration avenue prompt, was so great.
Besides faeries being one of my favourite things to paint, it gave me an excuse to paint another 'Gum Tree Leaf Faery', which are currently my favourite faeries to paint!
Gum leaves give me such a buzz of inspiration. Every single one is different, some are perfectly formed, but mostly the ones I pick up are the malformed, the tatty, the ones with holes and tears.
The imperfect ones are the ones that call to me most. They remind me that there is beauty and inspiration in imperfection.
I have an awesome leaf that I am currently desperate to use, but so far the faeries haven't been co-operating.
But I believe that one day soon the perfect faery will come along to claim this leaf.
I would love to know how you all use everyday inspirations in your creative life. Feel free to share below.
Have a great week.
