Waiting for Inspiration

Thanks Melody, I’m quite humbled by your response…it’s very nice to hear it struck such a chord with you.

It was a frustrating time when I just didn’t know what to paint next.. lost for ideas.. painters block..
I decided to do a painting about that very thing – not being able to paint.

The shadow says it all really (pulling my hair out)!

it too am in awe! i know this room/person/moment very well. my fav part is the path, it says to much

to = so ;)

looks like how i feel Leith

Very expressive – nice work.

Wonderful work and a great concept Leith!

Like an Alice in Wonderland room. Very nice texture and colours.

Great illustration. Nice tones. Well done Leith!

it’s a gorgeous illustration, love your work and style!

I love this.

I know exactly the space you were in when painting this. One that i identify with lol. Great narative and follow through with many metaphors. Fantastic

Hmmmm! Inspiration comes in it’s own sweet time doesn’t it? When it finally arrives it brings all it friends and make you feel like your head will explode ….. or is that just me? I love your work!

nice style…very surreal and australian feeling for some reason, i like it

loverly, truely Inspired.

Thank You!

unreal art I love this !

Wow!

Awesome talent you have…Great work :)

This picture says so much … it’s worth a thousand words (and more!) Really meaningful and easy to relate to for all of us artists. Love the symbolism of the pathway. There’s so much dimension and details to this, and yet you created it with a touch of whimsey that I just love. Really cool colors and composition.

We’re all identifying with different bits of the picture, as our link, aren’t we? The design caught my attention. The glass of red makes me smile. ( I allow myself to drink that after 5 p.m.. That’s when I get creative in weblogs and virtual forums!!) I like the hopeful way you’re looking down the road!

I love it!!! you could stare at it for hours!

love this picture. we all wait for inspiration, don’t we?i see myself right there, waiting and waiting in front of a blank canvas, throwin in one brushstroke and then another. sitting down in disappointment hoping that inspiration will come and take me up with him to greater heights of artistic expression…..i love the clock on this picture: symbol of time passing while waiting…....WELL CAPTURED MOMENT

Brilliant!!!

This piece has inspired me, I am VERY familiar with having a creative block, I love everything about this piece, but especially the doorway and it’s promise of creative enlightenment. Brilliant!

love it a mix of van gogh and dali !!! I love those styles you got the idea!!1 great work!!!
I invite you to check my portfolio.

LOST IN OWN WORLD. 10

I LOVE it! I just keep looking at it over and over again. So fantastic! One of my RB favorites!

I’m gonna have to stop adding your works to my favourites list, but I can’t help it!

yes to the concept, well illustrated, always anticipating the coming of inspiration-interesting ‘red dust girl’ series too!

cool piece

Don’t remember seeing this one before, Leith. Must be you, I can tell you by your high tops! (Oh, and the bottle of red.) I know this feeling. Another winner!

You have a very creative eye…. and a lot of talent

well done sir. TO express the nature of inspiration through an image a truly magnificent trial. Seeing as how you’ve passed with flying colors I am curious to see where it is you shall turn to next… look up Alex Grey’s artwork if you havent.
peace

I love this!!!

Thought provoking…perhaps the painting on the far wall isn’t a painting after all…but a view….when I have no inspiration it seems like a desert.

well….I’ll just add my little bit of praise under the thousands of others!.... You have captured a mood that speaks on so many levels. So much to digest, and so easy to eat. You are a treat.

I can really relate to what you say beside your piece here .. i feel the same way but with words .. i create writing pieces in a prolific fashion at times and i understand what you’re saying (feeling) here.

another wonderful piece of your creativity here

oh how i LOVE this portrait.!!!!!!!
great work my friend…!

Great work. Wonderful idea to paint about waiting for ideas! lol

wow~ fantastic, such a story to tell..!

This is amazing. and so very poetic. great metaphor(s)!

brillant concept and brillantly painted, i guess you could say i really like this work!!

The little road signs are so clever. I am drawn to the light beneath the canvas and the fact that it is midafternoon in a windowless room. Your lovely work of art is thought provoking. I enjoy everyone’s perception on a common theme.

Mahalo Leith, thank you so much!

Great painting. So true. :-)

this is awesome!

great work Leith.Lately I’ve been spending too much time at the ‘office’ and not enough time out on the ‘field’ if you know what I mean.

thanks Leith.Yeh i’m a guitarist.Used to play Gibson SG.If you look closely at some of my works you’ll see one here and there.Nowadays I have a Schecter which is pretty damned good as well.Haven’t played in a band for ages but if something comes along I’ll jump on board.

The glowing red walls..like those of our heart’s inspiration..bring us all into the heart of the matter

amazing and wonderful work..well done!

Love it!

Amazing!!! Your explanation resonates deep within my being… I couldn’t agree with you more. What an awesome piece and concept… x

BRILLIANT WORK OF ART…
It seems you have great imaginative INSPIRATION.

What a wonderful journey this painting takes me on… I can only imagine how immence its power if ever I were to have the privilege to witness the canvas in person? Brilliant!
