Making Beautiful things

I went to one of the Kikki K shops yesterday. I picked up a postcard, which is a piece of advertising for Kikki K, but I just loved the simple, yet effective design of it and most of all the message...
...Since, that is really what I believe too - "I just want to make beautiful things."
I'm constantly inspired by the beauty of God's creation and this has led me to create many paintings, usually I'm inspired by flowers and nature, such as the one below...

This was a peony I painted from a photograph I took whilst visiting Monet's garden in Giverny!

I also try to demonstrate and share my love of creating "beautiful things" at school. Lately I've been taking some photographs, of some of the teaching examples I have created at school, or have created on the whiteboard...
 This was an example I created with a Year 8 Graphics class, exploring Typography.
This was inspired by a you-tube clip I showed students in Graphics and then I drew this on the whiteboard in the art room.
The following painting was also created in front of the students in the art room...
I hope I'm inspiring others to want to create "beautiful things..."
