There are dreams and inspiration that can arrive unexpectedly,

and then there are creative inspirations that come to us in a dream.

The Hot Air Balloons1

I had a dream recently that I was on this huge ferris wheel. As I looked up
at the night sky I saw something so amazing.

A dark blue sky with twinkling stars in the sky. I saw a hot air balloon floating above, and then there were twin balloons.

They were amazing, and identical. Underneath were beautiful sailboats. The white billowing sails made them look like they belonged in a fairytale. I have created my first youtube video to illustrate the beautiful images from my dream.



I hope your dreams are filled with inspiration and lovely images.

Now I am off to create greeting cards.

Karen,

Just gorgeous. Your first YouTube is a wonderful dream.

We lived in New Mexico for many years and were part of a hot air balloon crew. Riding in a balloon is a very special experience... no noise ... just that of the burner ... going where the wind takes you. A joy we miss.

Hugs--

Hi Karen,

Wow! What a new visual experience. A video. I loved it. I love seeing hot air balloons, but I am afraid that I could never bring myself to ride in one!!

Our real estate peron is a world champion balloon racer from a few years back. Interesting man.

Lovely post, Karen. I have missed you...

Karen,

I love it! You should send it to the Sundance film festival!!!!

It reminds me of the artist statement by David Arms - God does the creating and the artist goes along for the ride. Only He could make a sailboat fly!

Love, Susan

Hi Karen,
Now this is inspirational and so creative. I love your YouTube video. Hot air balloons have always fasinated me when I see them. They seem to move so slowly and with such grace.
Your talents just go on and on sweet friend.

Glad you liked the framing for your watercolor. It looks so beautiful in the room and I love taking a walk up to the room to view it. But, in my studio I can enjoy the card framed in black. I am blessed each way!!

Love, Celestina Marie
