Inspiration

I don't know about you but I need to be bowled over when I need inspiration, don't give me nice, give me stunning! That's what happened when I did a search on FineArtAmerica.com and came up with a stunning stage set image of the 18th century by Tobias Toball of Duirwaigh Studios. Not only is Toball's art stunning it was life changing for me and gave me a new perspective on the kind of art I want to do. I got more than what I bargained for and I feel infused with excitement for future prospects. Below is the link to his gallery at FAA and the inspirational image:

I have had a lot of fun since being introduced to the layers program and would like to continue in the fantasy vein since my inspiration. Toball and his wife Angi Sullins have a lovely and inspirational how-to-book (probably more for beginners), 'Digital Art Wonderland' that I plan to buy at Amazon.com.
