Inspiration is an interesting thing for artists. Personally, I get most of my ideas for new painting series randomly, almost out of the blue. . . and I have to write them down immediately because I’m likely to forget if I don’t.
But anything can spark an idea—a movie, a book, an interesting turn of a phrase. . . sometimes a single color inspires me.
