I have a tiny confession to make. I haven't painted anything in about six months. I've sold about three paintings in the last year, which is not bad considering the fact that I haven't been actively advertising, blogging, or participating in any exhibits in as much time. That's okay though, art flows in when it wants to, not in continuous sonic waves. In the meantime, I've started writing much more and every now and then I'll pick up my sketch book, shut out the world (give my toddler some cherrios to distract him) and let my pencil roam free on my paper. However, I've got to get cracking on some new pieces sooner or later because my inventory has dwendled down to a handful of canvas pieces.
To gain some inspiration I recently took a visit to Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville Arkansas. Let me tell you, it is AMAZING! The architectural design of the premise itself is phenomenal but the art selection is breathtaking. My favorite colection, of course, was Modern and 19th Century displays. The photos on the site do them NO justice, you must see these pieces with your own eyes. Honestly, they glow. The art comes alive in such a unique way.
I was fortuate enough to remember my ipad, so I will upload a youtube video later and link it in another post. I'll tell you now, you'll have to ignore all my "wow"s and "oh my g-d!"s lol.
Be Inspired,
K.
