The art of creating beauty in my life has always been found through the inspiration of my surroundings. A glimpse of a fluttering hummingbird would cause me to stop whatever I'm doing and just stare and wonder about such a beautifully made creature. Many times during my treks on the trails of Maroon Bells, Colorado, I would find myself taking pictures of red and yellow wildflowers perched between the rocks or just gather beautifully colored rocks in my pocket. Upon my return, I would set them on my desk at home match paint colors, hoping I can find a project to use it in! Whether created by God or man, I find inspiration in the beautiful things that surround me. My hope is this blog might inspire others to embellish their own sanctuary with the things they love.
