Inspiration

Where does it come from? I asked that question in my newsletter this week and got some interesting answers from readers. One suggested working in a series like my windows I like to create. I also like to do architectural scenes. I thought about a series with boat scenes from Lake Geneva I have taken over the years. Or cottages or doors or bridges. This is one of my pictures I could use.

Another suggestion was to check out other photographers and artists and what they are currently doing. That is a great way to get inspiration! Ideas come sometimes when I'm at a show and see other art quilts in their real-life spendor. No shows currently going though.

Another suggestion was to do something from other areas of the country. My mother suggested this idea to me. I love to do French architectural pieces and maybe more American architecture would be interesting. Farms could be interesting.

Cleaning my house could be inspirational while listening to some fun music. I just recently got my cleaning person back but there is always something that needs to be done especially in my studio where she doesn't clean. I have my stereo set up with surround sound there and my Ipod full of great music. I will try this!

So many great suggestions. I need to take some time to try some of them. Taking my camera around town might be interesting too. So I will let you know what happens!
