Description

I saw this type of meme before, but it never tempted me to do one.. until a few days ago when ~Corsico poked me and said I'd better do one, haha! So I thought it would be fun to take the challenge.
Here are the details:

1. Nightwish - their music, sound, and lyrics have triggered something in me. A good friend once told me: "In their music, Nightwish use certain metaphors and imagery, and the colors that I see in there, are to be found in your paintings." :happycry:

2. Home: the place where I feel whole, safe and inspired. I had a happy childhood and maybe you can see that in my works. (original artwork by *Mar-ka [link] )

3. Winter: What could be better than tons of snow outside while cuddling on a fuzzy couch with a hot tea and something good to read? Yep, best time of the year. (see that in my greeting cards) (picture by me: [link] )

4. The Secret of Kells (movie): One of the best animated things I have ever seen. Every friggin frame of this movie is a work of art. Hasn't influenced me yet since I saw it a few days ago, but you'll certainly notice some influence in the future!

5: Kids blowing balloons: Reminds me of childhood and it's like they're spreading beauty in the world without anyone to pay attention to it. (see "Are you there" series) (original picture by ~AlexEdg [link] )

6. Gerhard Richter: His painting never ceases to blow me away. Just look at that texture :drool:

7. Le petit prince: My favourite story since I was a child. I think it's a story for both children and adults, and every time you read it you get to understand more...

8. Antoni Gaudi: Another one of my favourite artists. I just love the way he managed color and shapes. In the first year I sold Christmas greeting cards, I spent all the money on a "Gaudi - complete works" album. It was so worth it.

9. *ploop26 I just love his work and just as Gaudi, the way he uses color and shape to create such dreamy artworks.

10. Street scenes: and the way people act on the street. I just happen to see it every day so yes, I am influenced. (See "Are you there" series) (original picture by ~zensuous [link]§ion=&q=clash+street+rain#/d2pjslr )

Wow, that was long :faint:
Of course there's more than 10 things that influence me in my art, such as dreams, feelings and all that but well, I think these are the most important. I'm sure I may have missed some things, which I will remember after posting this, but oh well. If more influences come to my mind, I might add them in the bottom of the list.

Thanks for having the patience to read until here!
