For today's post I wanted to share a great personal source of inspiration: ...... art. 
I often get ideas for my colour combinations and still life arrangements (like the one above) by looking at the colour scenes in paintings. Like the beautiful painting below from Jos van Riswick
When I create still lifes, sometimes I see flashes of paintings by Dutch painters. They use colour and light so delicately and always have a certain mood.
I love the still life paintings by Jan Mankes as they always move me with their fragile colours and moods.
This picture is inspired by the lovely still life painting "Jasmine in a vase" by Jan Mankes. I absolutely love the intriguing moods of his paintings. 
The one above is from Floris Verster who's work I love dearly. His work always has something pure and dramatic in the colour palette.
And above my humble version of his sublime light and colour scene :)) You can express so much just by arranging some objects, which is what I admire about making a still life.
So far today's post; less colourful as usual but I hope it could inspire you anyway. Take care and have a nice inspiring day :)))) 
If you have suggestions for an art still life you want to see from your inspiration source, just let me know :)
