We had a wonderful Art Coffee this morning talking about social influences on art, how “making” art can enhance creativity at home and at work. Hopefully, some were inspired today or a spark was lit. I know coming together with like-minded or even just interested individuals feeds the soul in new ways, making room for growth. Let’s go create and see you next Friday! #artcoffeemaplegrovemn #maplegrovemn #maplegrovemnbusiness #maplegroveartscenter #maplegroveartscouncil #art #create #conversation #bettertogether #community #networking #beyourself #thankful #inspiration

Good morning 🌞 mandala. Just about through adding color to the first Madeline Island Mandala. I’m enjoying the process of creating these! #mandala #maplegrovemn #madelineisland #coloredpencil #watercolor #create #art #artistsoninstagram #make #kayaking #adventure #outdoors

Do you have the Art Coffee penciled in for this week? Hope to see you there to talk art and everything creative! #art #coffee #friends #maplegrovemn #maplegroveartscenter #maplegrovemnbusiness #create #createandcultivate #conversationstarters #community

Making my way to the outer edges of the mandala, layering colors of blues and filing in with earthy tones that remind me of the brown rugged shores of Lake Superior. One of favorite places to be! @yourlakewalk #lakegirl #lakelife #mandala #artistsoninstagram #art #collageart #peaceful #innerstrength #soul #seeker #thankful #beyou @silverwavesjewelry #inspireothers #womensupportingwomen #smallbusiness #designer

It’s like watching a flower oh-so-slowly open.... the process continues to unwrap the art within....#artistsoninstagram #mandala #drawing #create #createandcultivate #coloredpencil #watercolourpaint #painting #art #outdoors #kayaking #hike #maplegrovemn

Filling it in before the brush hits it. Layering color to create a vibrant design. Hope you enjoy the process as much as I am! #coloredpencil #watercolorpencils #painting #lakesuperior #madelineisland #maplegrovemn #artistsoninstagram #art #create #soulsearching #kayaking #hike #walk #explore

Gotta go to bed but I could easily pull an all-nighter. I love seeing the color come together, especially when I start brushing it in the vibrancy and transparency brings the images to life.... #artistsoninstagram #mandala #drawing #circle #create #createandcultivate #story #beyou #kayaking #outdoors #madelineisland #maplegrovemn

I’m like a moth to flame. I must color my mandala! #artistsoninstagram #art #create #createandcultivate #mandala #mindfulness #abundancemindset #wholeness #drawing #watercolor_art #watercolor #watercolorpencils #thankful

Goodnight 😴 moon 🌚 over Eagle Lake in Maple Grove, MN. What a beautiful night! #eaglelakemaplegrove #maplegrovemn #yourlakewalk #naturephotography #photography #night #moon #darkness #water #walk #moonlight #reflections #lakelife #lakegirl #explore #thankful @nobletalon

A sun-drenched path lit the way to the lake yesterday morning on a walk with my daughter. It was nice to have her home for a little bit. I miss our daily walks by the lake together @annellembeauty 💚💙💛❤️🧡 #yourlakewalk #walk #lakegirls #bettertogether #family #photography #share #support #outdoors #explore #maplegrovemn #maplegrovemnbusiness #eaglelakemaplegrove #motherdaughter #beyourself #thankful

What a beautiful display tonight over the lake. The yellow reeds glowed as the sun went under and the clouds gradually became darker hues of pink as the sun continued to set over Eagle Lake in Maple Grove, MN #eaglelakemaplegrove #maplegrovemn #photography #sunsetlover #sunset #color #pinkclouds #reflections #beauty #nature #naturephotography #walk #hike #explore

The sun came out for a bit and parted the clouds over the lake. I love that particular blue that defines an autumn sky. The water so still, the clouds are perfection in their reflection #maplegrovemn #eaglelakemaplegrove #lakegirl #lakelife #dock #ducks #clouds #cold #fall #walk #video #photography #thankful

And all of the sudden.... it was fall! The colors are popping every where and bright colored leaves float across my path as the seasons change a little at a time. #fallcolors #autumn #walk #woods #trail #outdoors #path #journey #photography #naturephotography #maplegrovemn #eaglelakemaplegrove

I completed the digital version of this mandala. It is my second mandala, drawn for Madeline Island, a kayaking retreat dedicated to Abundant Living. I will be leading art workshops to inspire the artist within. One of the exercises will be to create your own mandala. #mandala #drawing #lakesuperior #madelineisland #apostleislands #kayaking #art #artistsoninstagram #create #graphicdesign #teach #thankful #maplegrovemn @madislemarathon @madelineisland

Good morning, Money shot Monday sunrise on the lake! We chased the orange 🍊 glow we could see through the trees through the woods until we were able to see lakeshore and the colorful skies open in front of us.... wow! What a great start to the day. Never get tired of a beautiful sunrise over the lake 💙🍀 #nofilter #sunrise #bettertogether #newlyweds #morningwalk #lakegirl #lakelife #eaglelakemaplegrove #maplegrovemn #photography #nature #outdoors #mondaymotivation #inspire #thankful

I loved the pink-laced clouds just past sunset as night continued to come down over us. A peaceful weekend with rain and sun peeking out on a perfect fall day. Delightful pink ending to the day 💗💗💗 #sunset #lakegirl #lakelife #maplegrovemn #eaglelakemaplegrove #maplegrovemagazine #lake #clouds #pinkclouds #reflection #thankful @nobletalon

A cloudy ⛅️ morning for the birds! #maplegrovemn #eaglelakemaplegrove #maplegrovemagazine #naturephotography #nature #walk #hike #lakegirl #lakelife #outdoors #boat #birds #thankful
