My Mom thinks I should painting horses since I love them. But the land is what I find compelling right now, maybe horses later or not at all. It is all about inspiration.<br /><br />I have three new paintings almost ready to post and think I will write about inspiration because it is so important to have a painting come through you and not be something contrived. An idea comes from somewhere that one cannot always define, but you know it, feel it, and see it, when it is there!<br /><br />Another problem for me is when I am around people that do not realize the thought and effort while painting. It is really about thinking through problems as you go. Very hard. One of my artist friends told me that if you wanted to do something easy you could have become rocket scientist. I thought that was funny and so true.<br /><br />Happy Painting Ida!Donna Van Tuylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341612740396001971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537774717171903242.post-23552527994408492722011-02-17T11:33:09.839-08:002011-02-17T11:33:09.839-08:00Donna, while reading your blog today, I got down t...Donna, while reading your blog today, I got down to the paragraph about Payne's book, and what you said about the blog beeing about painting- - - not marketing, not products, not about "keeping up with the Jones", so to speak, but about compostions, brushwork, ideas, and painting!! I so need someone to talk with time to time about just painting---the thinking parts, the planning parts and the mood parts that are so interesting! I have a double problem with my family- - who always believe I should paint westen stuff--horses, cowboys of today, ect - -sometimes I do...but I really like and consider so much more than that. I like your blog, because its about more than that! (plus, love your work)Ida M.
