Don't forget there is a blog party with virtual food and drink and real prize giveaways. And lots of links at the party site of others like me who are participating in this event.
Things that inspire me:
Color: I am a big fan of purple and teal together; also really like orange and red together.
Nature: I really like to draw birds the most, followed by other animals - elephants, tigers, giraffes, you get the idea....
Language: I love the English, the double entendre, puns and the like. I am addicted to crossword puzzles and word games (Scrabble mostly).
Architecture: I frequently see patterns in buildings that inspire me to be creative in abstract ways instead of always striving for realism.
Sleeping: Don't laugh; I frequently get extremely creative ideas while sleeping/dreaming and often solve creative blocks in a semiconscious state.
Stop on over at Inspiration Avenue and join in the fun!
My attempt to slay the inner critic and produce art that is fighting to get out.

Great post Vicki - it's so interesting to read what inspires other artists!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely not laughing at the inspiration from sleep- I get ideas when I'm laying in bed or dreaming, too. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd hooray for loving crossword puzzles and word games- those are fun!
Sleep is a good inspiration. I get the best ideas while asleep and hope I remember them when I awaken.
