Go out with a camera and/or a sketch book and look at things from different angles than you normally use. Climb a ladder or a tree, go down inside a hollow or look straight up at something from right under it. Record shapes, textures and subjects that interest you, colors that excite you. Look at something from an unusual close distance and try to see something you haven't noticed before. Then go back to your studio with your photos or sketches and find some that inspire you enough to start painting. The hardest part is to turn off the inner critic in your head that's telling you that your ideas aren't good enough. Any idea can be a good painting, you just have to make it interesting or combine it with another idea to make it new.

Inspiration! you are inspired all ready.You are a great artist.You are going to paint, great paintings.Simple thing don't compare yourself with any body.Don't follow anybody else's tecnic.Bring your self on the screen.
Don't try to become famous,Bring your self on the screen.When you are on the screen, with all your heart,your soul,Your being in total.When that totalty will happen, All of you will be on the screen, the screen will become alive. In that aliveness, You will say, who cares to be famous. Its beyond, Its of another world.Feel that fulfillment, this is what everybody is longing for.
Art is not about tecnics or knowledge. its about totality,Its some thing you do, that you love to do, you are doing with all your heart,
you are so lost in doing that, like nothing exist except you and your painting.When you and your painting will become one, it will be more than a painting.
think of painting all the time, when you get up, when you are eating, when you are in shower,when you are awake and in your sleep, painting will become part of you, not some thing saparate
from you.keep one notebook and one pen. Write down all ideas what comes to you. never trust on mind,write down.All ideas, even some you think they are crap.Write your crap ideas too.And read as many time you can.I tell you, Imagine all the time that your ideas are flowering, imagine them growing. feel you are a great artist,in present, think in present,you are.
You talk about painting! A new song will born out of the painting.
Your paintings will become alive, the song will born and whole existence will dance, and the whole earth will become the spot of celebration. The ultimate. The ultimate will paint through you, you will become the vehicle of ultimate.
READ FROM THE HEART, ITS PRECIOUS, IT HAS TRUTH IN IT.
The painters who could become famous, they were professionals,
The real painters, they never became famous, Yes, after the death. They lived their life in bliss, that bliss, nothing compairs to that, the blisss the bliss.Later comes fame.
To A real artist bliss comes first, then fame,
And to professional fame comes first, and bliss never
ALL WHAT YOU CAN IMAGINE, YOU CAN BRING INTO REALITY
Go under the sky, look at the sky, not straight, up up.
Look at whole sky, not staring, at whole. bring your both arms towords sky like you are longing for him,Stay for a minute or more
than stretch your arms wide open.Stay for a minute or more, you will see pictures will come or new ideas will come, new wisdom will start to blossom with in you.
Last thing I would like to tell you that paint, paint,paint,paint, paint as much you can. paint I tell you again that paint paint paint as much as you can.Again and again I tell you PAINT PAINT PAINT.
How much energy I am putting to write this, can you feel, can you feel, can feel the heart, can you feel the soul. If you are reading from the heart, you can feel that I am enjoying so much writing this, even if this writing disappear some where in the computer before that I could send to you. Who cares. I am in a Bliss.I put my being in this.
Good luck
Lots of love
