We all scroll through sites like Pinterest and Instagram to spark up ideas these days.
But I think, as artists, we almost always overlook that our very own art can serve as inspiration.
Case in point: I painted this piece over 18 years ago and it still hangs on my walls. I sometimes think that should take it down at some point but I took a closer look today and this particular detail stood out and spoke to me.
The impasto texture technique, the colours as well as high energy markings on the right side gave me a whole new appreciation for my work and that perhaps I don’t give myself enough credit.
I examined it with newer fresher eyes and it totally inspired me.
I must do more and do less thinking about doing!
In the end, we should all look to our own work as a tool to further exploration and inspiration.
