A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

There are times when a picture does more to warm the heart than words themselves.

 

Don't hydrangeas remind you of summer?

 

I love the colors in these two pieces, and the old quilt seems to add even more to the composition.

 

The colors on the Viola card above actually come from using real flowers (violas, of course) and pressing the petals onto the paper.

 

This card was inspired when day-dreaming about cozy little places with sweet-smelling flowers and sunlight streaming like ribbons through the trees.

 

Collage is one of the things that always amazes me. I take little bits and pieces that don't seem to inspire so much on their own and incorporate them into a single scene. It somehow comes together in a heart-warming blend.

What about you? What warms your heart? Do you think of the beauty of nature or a favorite place where you feel warm and cozy?
