Twelve sources of inspiration for your creative endeavors:

Joaquin Sorolla, the painter of light.
Painting plaid. This looked like so much fun (and it is!) that I took out my watercolors (for the first time in months!) and tried it. Mine looks so much wonkier than Lauren’s, though. I’m sure you can do a lot better than me. Try it—and I dare you to share it on social media! (Post a link in the comments below–I want to see it!)
Frida Kahlo, fashion diva.
The most beautiful lollipops you’ll ever see.
Solitude is fertile ground for creativity.
The real Walter O’Brien, the genius behind Scorpion.
Fabulous article about helping your subconscious work out your plot problems.
Sculpture with a sense of humor.
I love it when Nathalie goes sightseeing. An artist in NYC.
Rethink your self-image. Particularly interesting if you’re a senior citizen.
Why artists make studies.
10 movies about writers.
