Starting a painting

I think i might start a painting today but i have no inspiration on what to paint. Its been awhile since i painted and i have like 10 or so unfinished paintings just stored away.

When you don't know what to paint, let your hand talk: choose a color, any color... close your eyes, take a deep, slow breath... and make the first line as you feel it. Open your eyes, and keep building from that line. Let me know if it worked ;)

@Busybee333 thats a good idea. I might try that. Maybe with some music playing it can lead to something amazing.

@Queendragonfly thats a good idea. I used cinnamon sticks and pretzels to stop smoking. That eventually didnt work and switched to vaping instead lol

@Random3838 He takes tobacco under his lip instead but I'm still so proud of him! My asthma is very happy he could replace smoking.

@Lyfis2live lol i will try. And thats not a bad idea. The challenge will be nice.

Thank you @Lyfis2live. You gave me the idea of my next painting. I dont like painting myself or being the subject but i am going to paint my reflection. But instead of my actual reflection, im going to paint how i see myself.

@Random3838 Post it later, if you feel like.

Paint an abstract representation of 'no inspiration'
