happy november! inspiration can be quite troublesome in any given stage in life....but somehow with three little ones always on you like glue...it seems impossible at times! however, as my husband always reminds me...I ALWAYS GO THROUGH THIS. (even though i tend to feel i will never paint anything ever ever again..sound familiar?) sooooo....i search for the things that make me happy....a trip to any flea market or antique/vintage sale....(that will be a separate blog very soon). fall on the east coast is filled with them on the weekends. and of course going to a bookshop searching for a yummy kids book or two...and....new brushes! ahhhhhhhhhh....a new paintbrush is so heavenly.
and so, i found 2 yummy kids books and 3 lovely paintbrushes. yay!
I LOVE THIS BOOK! i giggled the whole time i read it. and then even more as i read it to my two year old...WHATEVER you stuffy bookstore people who kept looking at us with unkind stares...
nice brushes hmmm?
here's a peek more inside...
the illustrations are so lovely and the colors just perfect. oh to one day do my own book....
didn't want to give too much away....it's a treat. if you don't giggle....well....i forbid you to read my blog any longer.
here's the other: not a giggle book...but lovely all the same... 
Snow. love love love it. (you can see a wee bit of my new painting and my smushed up kneaded eraser and my coffee cup. mmmmmmmmm coffee.....)
now some more:
how awesome is that illustration??? funny. i am now realising it's the same color palette for my new works... kinda sorta. yes.
one more? ok.
all for now. next perhaps i will share the beginnings of paintings....off to read these yummy stories to my littles...and giggle.
xo.
