artists that inspire you

[after-dark]

Please feel free to discuss which artists inspire you in relation to your own work and why:)

You will all laugh at me, but guess who has inspired me to paint, and he is not even an artist, and he is John Farham , the singer, just look how popular he is through sheer determination and hard work, he never stopped believing in himself, I have met this guy, and he is a wonderful person who never has stopped being grateful for his success, he is just an average sort of guy, and told me once to never give up and never stop believing in myself,and one day success will be mine. Good advice, and I often think of those words if I get down and out.:thumbup1:

Hey Jewels I don't think its funny at all. It's cool that you are inspired by a musician (well he's a singer anyway).

Hey I sometimes listen to Earl Nightingale while working - try that one, what a freak out. You certainly paint from somewhere else thats for sure.

Most of the time I have Pearl jam roaring in the background or something with enough energy to almost move the paint brush for me. Hey well done on your inspiration from John, he's a nice guy. He's done well for himself.

Hi Caku, You sound very much like me I have music so loud sometimes, the windows rattle......I definately paint a lot better with music.....thanks.

Joan Miro - I love his 'language'. Even got a tattoo of an abstract/surreal woman from one of his paintings.

Hockney has always been a favourite of mine. I had a chance to see the museum they have for him in Bradford years ago which was pretty cool.
