Inspiration - Wind Flowing Through Trees

Wind flowing through trees has been an inspiration for both my painting and glass work.  I love the sound of the leaves rustling, I imagine the wind not only pushing a tree but flowing around the trunk, spiraling the branches, pulling on them.  It is more of a flowing through and pulling as it goes through to the other side.  

I depicted this in a painting titled Gusty

I love the flow of it.  Here are some details

What Inspires You?

For the next several posts I want to share what inspires me in creating oil paintings and stained glass and want to know what inspires you to create or generally what inspires you.  
The first thing I will share is that I love bike riding and I find that I will have thoughts pop in my mind of images or ideas of what to create or what to write on the blog.  Even if it is just a half an hour I feel refreshed and invigorated.  The last ride I had I was inspired to write this blog and what I could share about certain paintings and glass projects I have had.  
I look forward to hearing what inspires you.

July 4th Celebrations

I am wishing you all a fun and safe July 4th celebration.  I am going to enjoy a few days off this week and relax.

Shopping for New Paint Brushes

After the last couple of paintings and using brushes that were frayed a little too much I decided to go get some new brushes.

I always enjoy shopping for new art supplies. I have not used this brand before so hopefully they work well for me.
