Without inspirations, I wouldn't be able to do my work. I need visuals! They may change after a while, but I am usually drawn to similar things. Here are a few of my current muses.
A classically shaped plaster urn
Beautiful patinas and unique color combinations
Grottesca designs and gilding
Sgraffito on buildings, such as this in Florence
Fine design
What are some of your muses?
I invite you to check out Regina Garay's generous blog post today over at Fauxology where she covers the groin vault ceilings that I painted. She will be reporting on groin ceilings all week- yummy! Thanks so much, Regina!

My pleasure, Ann! You have inspired beautiful comments as well. BTW, I love all your inspirations -- where is that grottesca ceiling from? It's delicious!
ReplyDeleteMerci, Regina.
ReplyDeleteThat is a tiny part of the ceiling on the second floor, in the main bedroom, at the Villa Farnesina, just over the Ponte Sisto and close to Campo de Fiori and a great chocolate store! ;]
