We don’t create in a vacuum, rather we’re influenced by what we see, read, hear, do. We might look at art online, visit a museum, or sit and watch the sea. Of course it’s not just art that inspires; it’s jewellery, news, gardens, the colour of people’s clothes, and so much more.
Today Alan and I went to an orchid show in New Plymouth. The flowers were amazing, we had a nice lunch then visited a friend. I don’t paint flowers very often, but the colour of the blooms was inspiring, especially the ones where the inner and outer petals were strikingly different colours.
