Put a mark on the board, then maybe two more in quick succession after a moment's reflection on Mark No. 1.
Then be sure you have a fully loaded brush and plop it down without worrying about where. Take a blade, knife or piece of wood and give it a push here and there a few strokes. Set it aside a minute, get some sand or dirt, and throw it at the panel. Squirt it a few times with water (if acrylic) or turps (if oil) not too much but to get it a bit runny in places...pick it up and shake it a bit...not too hard but to get some motion going. Set aside to dry a while, then come back...look at it from all directions, and study really hard what you see. Then proceed to bring it out.

strong emotions that almost seem to take on a color --- feeling trapped being represented as a wingless bird or a girl in a glass cage/ box --- you could figure out how to represent in a painting those people that you only know for a short time or you've fallen out of contact with but they leave and impression on your life and you still think of them every once in a while ---- basically life is a good inspiration

you should find a magazine or a nice big picture with lots of details or colors. and then use a "view finder" its like a small frame.. you can cut it out of paper... use the view finder on the picture you selected, by trying to place it on a part of the picture which contains the most interesting details yet you cant make out what it is... if you paint whats inside that frame you will end up with a abstract painting! loads of fun.. trust me

You can draw inspiration from literally anything. A screen name, a word search, an image search. But suggestions from others are the weakest you can get. Just do what YOU like.

How about the skull of some animal with a red velvet sheet draped over a chair as the background.My son did one and it looked fantastic.

Yes, I've got a good one for you,, the penultimate supper created by the monty python team, basically, its the last but one supper, with 3 jesus's and 20 odd apostles, camels and s**t.
there never was a picture of this, it was a live comedy sketch.

I like still life. But I also like the abstract. How about a mix of still life and absract? maybe like a water mark type thing or a black and white with color over top.....interesting!

Try something surreal. If you can do a painting with a frog, a window, and a screwdriver...that would be quite interesting.
