I just like the Stuff!

Matisse, Van Gogh, and others painted things they saw.  Matisse would collect items from his vacations and travels. Picasso saw what Matisse was doing with the African masks and art work.  He began to copy the idea.

Fabrics, cups, mask and other household items can be art.
People ask how do you get ideas to paint? Most of my ideas are landscapes but the thought of painting in the the house with Items from the house brilliant!

Elevating a subject to the status of art is not unique. Painters have done this for centuries. I believe it is your ability or desire to find something to paint.

Pick up something on vacation and put it on the shelf then Keep you brushes wet and paint away!
