I enjoy getting up early. I think my mind is fresh in the morning and ideas come easily for me. My morning commune from home to my studio by the public transit would take more than an hour. I usually spent the travel time reading either the newspaper or books. Often some unimportant information would start a well of inspirations for me.
Today, the first day of spring was the lead in item on all the radios and the newspapers, likely because consider how cold the weather is.
I got this idea to celebrate the first day of spring with a post card painting. I choose the Easter lily because it closes to Easter. And I even found two Easter lily stamps for it.
The little painting is 5″x9″

Really like your idea of using stamps and postcard size paintings for inspiration 🙂
Thank so much!
