When it comes to paint on canvas using your oil paints or whatever you use, what gives you inspiration? I dont make art for art’s sake but rather paint when I feel I should describe something…

so when it comes to you painting, how do you figure out what you will paint/create?
Just whatever you like to do or like to look at!!!!! Take a walk once in a while and you most likely will see things that will inspire you!
while i am not a talented artist my sister is. as she explains it she waits until images “come up” from her subconscious/unconscious and “require” that they be portrayed. this happens for her “naturally”. her work is quite unique and powerful; in no way derivative or mediocre. one way to promote the experience is to involve yourself with those practices which aid conscious connection to these depths of being: meditation, energy work such as yoga, ch kung, reiki, etc. good luck!
