I am rapidly becoming more and more obsessed with balloons. Here is how and why they fill my heart with wonder...

  • They remind me of childhood
  • They defy gravity
  • If you ride in one (hot air balloon) there is no knowing where the winds will carry you
  • They are incredibly soothing and satisfying to paint: The circular motion of the brush, the different colors you use to round it out, the white splash to indicate where the light hits it
  • They make me believe anything is possible
  • Le Ballon Rouge
  • The Twenty-One Balloons William Péne du Bois
  • Up
  • Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
