Inspiration, greatest feeling ever its nice to get a daily dose.

Today’s morning started pretty good, I only hope the rest of today can be as inspiring as the first few hours of this day. I started my morning with a little reading and understanding. I found myself lead to a new york times article about a early 1900s painter named Edward Hopper. 

(ps: byron I’m sorry I don’t write I should, ill read your book one of these days but surley it was nice of you to point me toward a good direction.

Anyways; Reading this article was extremely inspirational and gave me insight to real artisan work. Now that I’m blogging my thoughts and reviewing concepts and writing them in stone I believe what I pulled from todays article was the possibility to review someone’s art and then to take visual cues of composing and use them in my own work (not considered copying) , also to begin experimenting with mood lighting, and begin looking for personal expression on matters that I deal with and exploit them in my medium. the following is what I look for in paintings, angles, composition, lighting, figure elements, textures, and color. if anyone reads my blog it would be nice to read your comments on my thoughts and possibly teach me something about art I don’t know which is probably a ton. 

Another thought, people who have made a major impression on me Shana Scott, Tim Everitt (Thank you)

now for your visual entertainment here you go.
