Windows of Inspiration a new project
REFECTIONS IN A BLUE NIGHT
I have several paintings done from windows as I am fascinated by windows both looking out and looking in. This is a painting I did from the window in my room at the hospital. I was recuperating from a heart attack and continuing to paint and tackle difficult subjects was very therapeutic. The painting because of the imagery is both inside and outside at the same time - that was the way I was feeling. I was very much inside my body - more than I wanted to be - but in my mind I was outside into my life's activities as if nothing had happened.

International Artist Day
In honor of International Artist Day I am posting my study of Rembrandt's painting.
Rembrandt van Rijn self portrait:c.1665; 45x37in oil on canvas: Ivegh Bequest, Kenwood England
Rembrandt was well regarded in his own day, although he stood outside the mainstream of Dutch art. His contemporaries developed new secular subjects - landscape, still life, and genre painting wheras Rembrandt's first love was Biblical history. I choose to do a study of him because he was a master of low key painting and this really interested me. Rembrandt did many self portraits. Learning from the masters from around the world is key to improving your own work.

A new creative project. Like any creative project inspiration fuels a modivation that just needs to be realized. This is the window I look out from my desk in the studio. When I am creating, working or just living. This window like others for individuals around the world provide a quite rest for the eyes, a break to think, reflect, and daydream. I need your help for this project. I want to see your window of inspiration. I want to collect these images and do a project with them. I won't know what I want to do with them for sure until I see them come in, but I just think this will lead to a great project. Please refer to the side bar for submission guidlines. Thanks to all in advance for participating.
