I love art and started making my own a few years ago by creating collages, paintings and photographs. Colors, shapes, textures - new views of ordinary things - that’s what interests me. I’m inspired by memories and dreams, but always have an eye to the future to see what might lie ahead.Tumblr (3.0; @leahmclain)http://leahmclain.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e4033e54080d4cb734dfcb7fdb4bd92d/tumblr_mnbw3asRZ01rt6e2ao1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e835caa922dd9a9e2170cb540e2081bb/tumblr_mnbw3asRZ01rt6e2ao2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/956f0cc35f2be7a452984a079ee85dd1/tumblr_mnbw3asRZ01rt6e2ao3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/442a4b85726ca8b40de0cebbaf99c454/tumblr_mnbw3asRZ01rt6e2ao4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c1b5624c30cfae95281b9c250b355937/tumblr_mnbw3asRZ01rt6e2ao5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Paintings by Muriel Prejean of Louisiana</p> <p>A<span>vailable at Artists Inside Circa 1857, Baton Rouge</span></p>http://leahmclain.tumblr.com/post/51263171106http://leahmclain.tumblr.com/post/51263171106Fri, 24 May 2013 19:30:46 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/37eba1763f2cca6a71d4354d067eab41/tumblr_mmws5tukqo1ra1p3to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://leahmclain.tumblr.com/post/51151979231http://leahmclain.tumblr.com/post/51151979231Thu, 23 May 2013 10:31:25 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f8692bdda5332a6a2b0ed34cfde3160f/tumblr_mn8cm3VUIv1qh7jlwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://poboh.tumblr.com/post/51119830373">poboh</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Stadtrand im Abendlicht</em>, 1900, Fritz Douzette.
