Inspiration - Nature Can Inspire

When artist block overrides the senses and the creative juices cease to flow how do you recharge your imagination?

Sometimes I just walk.  I find walking through my neighborhood leaves my soul uplifted and my mind refreshed. 

I bring my camera along and snap photo's of plants, flowers interesting people and landscapes.  Basically I'll snap anything I find beautiful. 

During my last walk I snapped some photo's of my walking trails. Today, I'm posting a couple of those photo's. 

The second photograph is the end of the walking trail. Next time I will take some photographs while it's raining.  The scene during the rain is stunning.    

A couple ways I've found inspiration,

Inspiration - NYIAD My Collage

I've mentioned before that I'm attending the New York Institute of Art and Design.  Here is a poster collage I had to create for one of my projects.   

This project was designed to bring out creativity and inspiration.  Although I created this project a while back, I still find myself feeling inspiration from this poster.

If you're a designer you may want to try this exercise out for yourself.  Grab some old magazines and find photo's that inspire and make you smile.  Cut them out.  Find a nice size poster board and glue the images on. 

Viola! Instant inspiration. 
Oh, did I mention I received an A+.
