For an artist inspiration is so important, but there are times when it seems to be very hard to find. On days like that I find that I just need to step back from “the studio”, which as a digital artist happens to be my computer screen and I will get outside and look at the sky.
The first digital artworks I ever created were done from my photographs of the Oklahoma sky. It is a constant source of awe and I like to think of it as the Creator’s everchanging canvas of new and beautiful works. It never fails to inspire me and I always find myself snapping iphone shots to use as future mixed media for some of my own new works.
So when I have spent too much time inside and I am getting artist block, all I have to do is walk out the back door and look up and suddenly I start to feel fresh inspiration again. I hope you will try it!
Excellent post Shelli! It will be interesting to see what you find as inspiration during the coming year as you participate in the 52 week challenge: The World Outside.
Thanks Kathy! I am looking forward to seeing yours as well and all the images. I know we all gain inspiration from one another, the image challenges are so fun and addictive.
I adore cloud images! They are so…. cloudy!
Thank you so much Abbie, this one was the perfect summer day many clouds ago!
