2nd Annual "Inspired by..." show
What inspires your paintings? Is it a particular artist’s style, the beautiful landscape in front of you, your special interest or hobby? WE WANT TO KNOW! As artists we share a different view of the world and are always looking for our next big idea. Sharing that “spark” will help us all understand your piece in a deeper way. Email short statements about your inspiration for your entries along with your images. These statements will be displayed with the gallery tag. This will be a fun show and should stimulate many interesting conversations.
