I love oil paints! They are rich and vibrant and allow me to depict landscapes and still life’s dripping with color. I like to paint on canvas, although I have never tried linen but I suspect I would love it.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from nature. Trying to capture the real feeling of something as vast and wonderful as a sunset on the canvas or something simple and beautiful like an apple is what compels me to paint.
What would you do with $25,000?$25000 would be such a huge blessing to my family and I. Honestly most of it would just be put toward bills and the cost of living as a family with 3 kids. But some of it I would invest in my own art business! This money would help change my life.
