Inspirations…

I have to thank Shari Blaukopf  www.shariblaukopf.com for inspiring me to start painting and drawing. She has a blog where she posts her daily drawings, rain or sun or no parking spaces, every day of the year — quite a feat in my point of view and reading and looking at her paintings have certainly inspired me…

I have just bought a book from Charles Reid and I was taken by one of his paintings in the book. I can, not so easily “replicate” what another painter has done, but when it comes to painting on my own, with my own eyes, the act of painting becomes much more difficult.
