Horoscopes – Sagittarius as inspiration

Inspiration comes from a vast array of places. Whether it is inspiration for an art piece, a musical composition or even a masterful excel spreadsheet, it is important to recognize when inspiration is sparked so you can more easily become inspired the next time you really need it. This ongoing series can help you learn how much inspiration is found around you at any time.

One of the major themes I explore across my artwork is fire. 

My interest in fire, with the heat and dance of the flames, started in childhood as did my love of horoscopes. Born in early December, I am a Sagitarrius with my Rising sign in Leo. As a Sagittarius, I am part of the group of fire signs that also includes those born under the star signs of Aries and Leo. This definitely explains my early fascination with the flame.

This fire comes through me in a myriad of ways. Sometimes the fire feels like anger as I splash the paint across the page. Sometimes it feels like passionate love as I build a delicate harmony of cascading colors. Take a look at the 3 art pieces I’m highlighting in today’s newsletter and see if you can feel the fire.

Sometimes the art I create is for myself. A few years ago, I began creating a tattoo design that incorporated butterflies which have always been a reminder of those I have lost, as well as the signs of the most important, most influential people in my life thus far. Check out the design below after if was tattoo on me.
