And so it begins!
Finally, after months of working (with the small children and on my art) I finally have a moment to sit down and share with you. After taking a very long time to take the leap of faith that I could do art again, I realized that what was really getting me stuck was my subject matter... in the past as an undergraduate and as an art teacher it has been very easy to think about subject matter in relation to art and art projects. However, when I finally sat down to do my own art work.... nothing was coming to me.
So, I did what any sensible millineial would do... I began looking through my photos and I realized that I had a ton of old photos of different landscapes and places I had been. And there is was... my inspiration!! Landscapes!! I pulled out the photos and began working on them.
Don't mind the clutter of art materials surrounding my desk, but here is my amazing blank canvas ready to go!
And here is my work in progress notice, my fancy computer (well maybe not that fancy) in the background with my inspiration photo.
Here is the original inspirational photo that I used for my painting. If you can believe I actually took this over 10 years ago!
Here is the finished masterpiece available for sale at my Etsy shop!
