Inspire Me Monday #288 – Week Of July 9, 2017
I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

Always a pleasure Debbie – thanks for sharing, have a fabulous week!
Thank you so much for featuring me this week, Ramona! That painting inspired an annual exhibit I’ve hosted since 2014. The actual swing is found along the Panhandle Trail, the rails to trails that I visit all the time, and serve on the board. It’s also where a whole community of people grew up and remembered that swing. I decided to paint this painting and it was so popular I was inspired to follow through with an idea I’d had for years, to do an exhibit of my art and photograph of the trail. This will be my fourth year and I can’t wait: http://portraitsofanimals.net/2017-sun-shadow-ice-snow-seasons-panhandle-trail/

Wow, Bernadette, that’s so exciting – thanks for sharing the story behind your beautiful painting! I wish I had the funds to invest in one right now – the colors are just so lush and gorgeous!
Have an inspired week and wish I was back east so I could visit you and your exhibit! 🙂
