Today's inspiration


I have recently been painting, painting a lot and it seems to come at the expense of blog posts. I don't know if the creativity is getting used up on my paintings or my lack of time and sleep deprivation are to blame.

I thought I would show you a bit of what I am up to. That's the least I can do!


I am working on a landscape... I think. The abstraction is heavy but these are the images that are inspiring my palette.


My canvas is covered with paint but this is only about halfway finished. The photo below is a small section of a large canvas it also just wants to be sideways, but no matter, it is not finished .


Another illustration (pardon the pun) of how I gather inspiration for painting is this Christus Murphy painting. The Pinterest link back no longer works.

Christus Murphy
This painting inspired my painting "Patrician Plan".


They are very different but the color palette was what I liked that day.
