1st BLOG AWARD!

I'm happy (and proud) to be the recipient of the following BLOG AWARD, given to me by an artist who's work inspires me to be clean, crisp and to tell a story. Mineke's watercolors have driven my own watercolors to be more telling, more colorful and OH how she can handle architecture! Thank you, Mineke- Please visit her beautiful paintings here: MINEKE REINDERS

Here are 7 inspiring bloggers (in no particular order) who inspire me - here's why:

Joan Tavalotte Her travels are never far from her brushes!
Terry Banderas His sketches with splashes of color are SO realistic and beautiful!
