Inspiration at the Easel

 

With each new body of work, I start with new inspiration clipped or taped to my drawing board on my easel. From left to right:

-Postcards of paintings by Edvard Munch

-Notes on Beginning a Painting Richard Diebenkorn 

-A photo from the Rodin Museum found in a favorite Matisse book

-A photo of Arshile Gorky drawing in Connecticut 

-Bonnard and Munch postcards

-Notes to Myself

What do you have nearby for inspiration and encouragement?
