In pursuit of my inner artist

Blog

Lisa Congdon, in her book Find Your Artistic Voice, recommends creating a list of artists whose work you admiire and who influence you.  She recommends writing down what it is about the artists that inspires you.  I created this list and I found it quite informative thinking about why I was struck by their work.  It helped me focus on what I am trying to create in my art.  Here's my list if you are interested:

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
