An artist often wonders what inspired him/her to draw and paint the way they do, their styles, art movements and isms, or that one particular artist living or dead. I personally go back in my past and wonder. I have such a passion for all good art; it might be a particular painting or style that grips me. I like the painting on the left so much that it is my computer opener. Oddly, I find that I like art from most all the movements. Although, my main inspiration for my own work is in a more realistic vein, there are some abstracts that totally blow me away.

I don’t care who we are, we more than not have been inspired by some great artist, and sometimes by many great artists. Eventually, if we draw or paint long enough we find ourselves, some sooner and some later. When we do, we have to have that feeling of having arrived. For some of us, it seems an eternal quest to find that certain something that just clicks, but, a-a-ahh, what a passion it is searching for it!
