Morning Inspiration

A little secret of mine is that I visit a quite spot on the beach near my home as my morning ritual. Starting my day by the sea, listening to the waves, smelling the salt in the air, and seeing the beauty all around is such a lovely way for me to start my day. I spend about an hour taking in all I can and trying hard not to think about the day ahead of me. I have found that it provides me a sense of peace, calm and creativity that continues throughout my day and into the evening. Being in and around nature is such an inspiration for me and especially when I was developing my color palettes. I used many of the colors found on the beach, the sky and mountains, and the sea when creating the Fresh color palette.

This is what my eyes take in every morning. Ahh…the beauty that carries me through.
