I'm asked that question a lot, "Where do you find your inspiration for paintings?" I get inspiration from everything. I'm probably more inspired from color combinations than from shapes and form. I remember that I worked in a department store many years ago in the "domestic" department. After folding towels all day to keep busy, I started updating the displays with various unusual color combinations, mixing and matching different palettes from the wide selection of colors. I also have photos from my travels that continue to inspire my paintings. You'll see paintings from Tuscany from my trip to Italy. It made such an impression on me that I continue to find inspiration from my photos and my memories. I also have great photos from Florida family vacations that inspire my beach scene's and of course, I LOVE trees which luckily I can find anywhere for interesting subjects.
Where do you find inspiration?
