Internet Inspiration

I'm finding a lot of inspiration on the internet lately. 

Mostly following artists' blogs whose work 

leans toward the more 

expressionist / contemporary / colorful.

Ann Winthrop Cordin's work inspired me today.  

"Fake Tulips"

12 x 12 

This was inspired by Anne's painting below. 

It's been hanging in my studio for weeks

with a note (from me) that says,

"set up a simple still life using glass". 

The simplicity of the angles and the strong value pattern 

 is very appealing to me. 

This was a fun exercise.

Although, I only had those fake red tulips 

and they were well,

lifeless.
