Today’s post is going to be quick – but don’t worry, I well make up for it tomorrow! I’m in the midst of hurrying and trying to finish all my packing! My best friend and I are headed to Vegas tonight for a girls weekend away!
Anyways, I have these flowers that have been hanging around for awhile and I’ve been using them for my inspiration for my drawing and painting. But I really am best at photography. So I thought I would take some pictures today just in case they’re gone before I get back. What I love about these flowers is that they are so simple but so beautiful. Just a simple white flower with long petals and lots of them. It always reminds me to take time and look for the beauty in simple things. Because there is always beauty in simplicity.
Where do you see beauty in simplicity?
