My inspiration for this piece was a poem named “Courage,” by Robert William Service. The whole poem felt really optimistic and cozy, but the line that stuck out to me the most was “A fairy beacon burning bright/Of hope and cheer.” I tried to convey that sense of hope I felt while reading the poem by contrasting the warm and bright pinks and greens of the apple blossom contrasted with the stormy gray sky, along with a light source coming from above, to show the sun peeking through after a storm. The scene is decorated with candles. I was also influenced by art nouveau style artworks, especially the cozy colors and graphic lines.

I think creativity means being able to create something, whether it’s original or inspired. I don’t think inspiration even needs to come from the same area of artistic expression. My main outlet for creativity is through visual art, but my inspiration is a piece of literary art.
