Searching for Inspiration: 2021
Sometimes I just need to search through my own photos of past projects, and past inspirations to decide what to paint next. Or what to teach next? There's a reason I keep a photo journal of my ideas. "Simon" The Simon series, inspired by my brother's name, and name art. It has become a basic lesson I teach all my students. It is also a great "Commission" work, as I've done several dozen with other names for clients. Ranging from a sample size 4" x 6" for a baby, to a grand family name as a Wedding Gift. Customize your own color scheme! "Pink and Yellow Roses" photographed after picking fresh from my mothers garden. Still planning a large bouquet canvas with this idea. I love the structure of the frame and the contemporary print from the Guggenheim in the reflection. I'm partial to my kids racecars on the mantle too... I guess it marks a moment in time... Taking a neighborhood walk... sometimes a small vignette, like this...
