Iron Gate

These three paintings are from magazine pictures that I used to create the compositions.  The great thing about anything you might find to give you an idea is that you can add or take away what is in the picture and make it your own design.

Ideas for landscapes:
On location can be the very best way to capture a beautiful landscape.  However, weather can be a hindrance.  You may also be far from the subject that you are interested in painting.  The second best choice would be take a lot of photos of areas that you visit for a good reference later.  Then I find inspiration from art books and magazines.  These paintings come magazine pictures which I have changed to be more artistic.
