Painting a Day 6
Always looking for inspiration... I like to look through catalogs... great for Still Life paintings... wondering... if the artists of the past had access to catalogs would they paint via photos like these...

Loving these paintings, Fifi! You are a girl after my own heart with the beautiful catalog spreads-- they are inspiring. Can't wait to see tomorrow... :)
I always love your tablescapes -- and still lifes are a favorite of mine. Nice!
It's lovely, Fifiness! I wondered where all you got your inspirations. I guess I'd never thought of catalogs! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
So great Fifi Inspiration is everywhere!

All of these photos are such lovely vignettes, I love them all.
but mostly I love your darling drawing of the first one.
You have such talent my friend.
Thanks for sharing it.
Blessings for a Wonderful New Year,

I guess I should try. Kinda scared thought that I would overdo lol
and spoil it.
Catalogs certainly provide great inspiration. I love your summery painting and look forward to seeing what's next.
Happy New year and may this year bring good Health, Happiness, and
Prosperty.
It's a new year,a new day so...
GO Girl GO!!
Great subjects and you inspire us all.

Yes, I think artists from the past would definitely have taken inspiration from catalogues--if they looked like the ones we have today. Some cataloges are as nice as getting a new decor magazine in the mail! Of course, your paintings take them to an even higher level!
Best,
Susan
lovely!Hopping over to say Hello and HAPPY Thursday.
Hugs, Katherine
I am not a wonderful artist like you but I definitely take inspiraton from the catalogs! I always love seeing your lovely paintings. Happy New Year!
What a beautiful joy on your table-scape. I just had to crack up thinkin' of the artist of old browsin' catalogs for inspiration! Heeehehehe!!! Cracked me up..
God bless ya sweetie and have a marvelous New Year!!! :o)
You take these photos and bring the Fifi charm to them. I look forward to what you do with the rest of them.
Fifi your work is so much lovelier than reality! : ) I enjoy looking for great ideas in catalogs and magazines, too - so fun to get that little jolt and then head to the canvas! warm hugs from sunny Dallas!
Fifi,
I don't paint but I love to look at yours! They bring life to everyday! Thank you for sharing!
These tables are inspired. What I like is their overall simplicity which is warm and welcoming.
Beautiful painting...love the sunflowers with the blue tea pot.
Happy New Year, Fifi!
I am inspired to get off the computer, pick up my pen and finish painting my thank you cards. Glad I found your site, I'll be back.
Cheers!
