Some ideas to buy I draw from are artists who have a slightly different point of view, for example artist sometimes choose to paint still lives and sometimes they choose to paint magical realism or photographic images, today artist are expanding into different realms and I dont think we should necessarily confine our inspiration to the three main genres such as landscape, figurative or still lives. an artist who has done pretty well in this three main categories is Daniel Sprick, David Leffell and Richard Schmid, in the other hand there are other artists who are creating things in between such as Vincent Desiderio, or Odd Nerdrum.
In my opinion, Art should be as honest as possible without constrains and one should take the challenge of tackling reality with an open and sincere heart. After all, isn't touching another people with our art what is all about, I have seen many artworks that do not convey anything because a poem can have pretty words and say nothing and it can also say much with very few insignificant words.
