INSPIRATION:
ENCOURAGE THE FLOW!

Have you ever wondered
where creative people get their inspiration? Ideas
come from a moment in the mind. Almost anything at
all can trigger an inspiration. We all have creativity
at some level — the trick is to encourage what you
have to flow forth. Fear is the first hindrance to creativity. Let
your thoughts flow free and then sort through them, keeping
some and tossing most.
So, people ask me,
where do you get your ideas. I was thinking about
this the other day as I was having a quick lunch at the
corner cafe: a mandarin orange salad with grilled chicken.
Here is your inspiration — right there in the plastic
container. Fresh baby mixed field greens offset the
pale edges of curly endive and leaves of dark purple radiccio.
Brilliant orange of mandarin slices set against the purple
of the radiccio and red onion slices. The rich creamy
color of chicken gave relief to this riot of color and even
the dark brown of the grilling stripes on the chicken provided
darker grounding element.
Here's a design scheme
based on my lunch!
Does this sound nutty?
Well, fruity, anyway! And yet, think about it.
What sort of a room scheme could you develop from this salad
scheme?
