Paint something that you love!  Part 2

Picture
Here it is!- my cat having a nap on the back of the couch in the sun.  I tried to capture the warmth, and peaceful contentment she showed.  It made me want to have a catnap too.  While having a heartfelt connection to this kitty made it a bit more challenging to work on because I wanted to capture her perfectly, it also inspired me to push myself and it made the process of painting alot of fun.

Paint something that you love!  (or even better- that someone else loves)

Picture
Have you ever felt short on inspiration?  I was in between ideas when a coworker asked me to paint a portrait of her family's beloved Cockapoo named "Sam".  When I asked for some pictures to work from, she was so excited about having a painting done, I looked forward to working on it.  And when I showed her the drawing,  she loved it, said it captured him perfectly and that she couldn't wait to see it.  Her enthusiasm was so contagious that I got excited about it too.  It was really fun to work on it and turned out great. 

I was so inspired, I pulled out a photo of my own cat sleeping in the sun.  It was a picture that I had taken a while ago with the intention of painting it "someday".  "Some day" became now and I jumped at the chance to work on something that I love.  It has been a challenge, but lots of fun too. When it's done, I'll add it to this post.  

Go find something that you love to inspire you!  Person, place or thing it doesn't matter- what matters is your connection to it.
