Studio corner with still life and plein air sketches

Springtime gets the creative juices flowing, both in nature and in the artist. It's a time when one has renewed hope, a feeling of joy and an new outlook on the possibilities life can present.

Here's a peek at some of the things I find inspirational; objects that I always have available in the studio and some sketches from an impromptu engagement with the outdoors.

I trust it may give you the spark you need to renew your efforts to improve your own work.
