CREATIVE ENERGY: May 2020
Images That Inspire Me
Merriam-Webster Definition of Inspiration – something that moves someone to act, create or feel an emotion. The inspiration for a painting during my artist-in-residency at Fire Island National Seashore.
Bird’s-eye View
Drone photography has been around for a few years now and it still excites me. We are able to easily see views and angles that we have never seen before. This photo inspire me with rich texture and unique patterns. Image credit Everett McMillen Cislo www.everettmcislo.com/drone-photography
Book: Becoming
Book: Becoming
I read the book Becoming Michelle Obama early in 2019 just after it was published. I have always been a big fan of both Obama’s. In the book, she opened and shared very personal stories that clearly show how she became the incredible and much-loved person she is.
Becoming is now a major Netflix documentary. The documentary takes you through her 2019 book-tour with sold-out crowds of 17,000 in 34 cities; also meeting and listening to young students. Her brother and mother shared many stories about their family.
I would recommend reading the book and then viewing the documentary.
Bread & Covid-19
We fell in love with the Great British Baking Show a few years ago which has a very calming effect. The show rekindled my husbands baking practice. He has been baking all our bread for the past couple years and we’re happy that other people are baking as well. Give it a try.
