It always amazes me how quickly time flies ... I can't believe that there is only about 2 months until the Surtex show. And there is still a lot to do ... but to help me relax a bit and not freak out, I took some time to step back and paint to get some inspiration.

Both paintings are 24x36 ... one features the Fat Cat and Turtle ... the other features the Bear and Snail. They just make me smile with the bright colors and silly characters. Hopefully this will be the inspiration that I need to kick my creativity into high gear.

For additional inspiration, I've been enjoying the Hip Tranquil Chic Podcast where she interviews the always inspiring SARK.
