Inspiration: 

“The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative”.

When I paint, it might be from a photograph that I’ve taken or in plein air of a place I’ve been or I’ve imagined. My rendition of a sight might encompass a marsh on a hot summer day with glistening ocean grass dancing in a breeze or a fallow field with aggrieved oak trees. I may paint abandoned summer homes after a violent storm or a rural overpass over a tributary that buttress an old building. Whichever it is, that inspires me, generally there is a story of a past, left in the present, and needs to be told, to be painted. That, in its simplicity, is what inspires me. Deborah RoyRoberts
