Wandering inspiration

March 10, 2013 | jennifer barrile

A weekend spent wandering around Lancaster, Pennsylvania. My husband and I spent time driving around Pennsylvania Dutch Country with a map in hand and no particular place to go. I was inspired by the historic towns, unique shops and sprawling farm land. Along the way I captured some images that caught my eye.

Hope you enjoy the ride….

Lancaster has many covered bridges, 25 to be exact unfortunately we only found one. DSCF2948

Driving through Terre Hill, the delicate iron work at this cemetery caught my eye, had to stop and take a picture – the clouds rolled in, in time for a dramatic shot.

A stop in Litiz. Chocolate! Enough said…….

Fancy teapot display at Wilbur Chocolate Factory.

Couldn’t pass this up, had to check out the store.

Creating Simplicity

November 26, 2012November 26, 2012 | jennifer barrile

As November is winding down I am trying to keep up with Art Every Day Month, I haven’t sketched for a few days (ok its been a week) so I am posting some previous sketches.

During a brisk walk in the neighborhood a little leaf less tree caught my eye, it was bare except for a handful of seed pods hanging neatly in a row.

This drawing idea came from a very small doodle I made while writing my morning pages.

Nature inspired, AEDM 2012

This will be my first time participating in the Art Every Day Month (AEDM), for the entire month of November. My goal is to create something every day, to make time for art big or small. AEDM info page

My inspiration came from a morning hike along a path where my eye was drawn to a grouping of bright green leaves in a neat pattern amongst dirt debris and brown leaves.

Shaking off the winter blues, on foot with a camera.

Is it the winter blues or is it just lackluster days, bringing me to want to hibernate till Spring. Not sure but my creativity is at a low making me feel off balance. So when I saw that bright yellow thing in the sky (the sun), and felt the warmer air, I thought it be a good day for a walk. Instead of the same walking routine, I decided to take it slow, with my camera in hand to take in nature around me. Stuff I might have normally missed, this is what I captured:
