Welcome back to my Studio!
 
Have you ever wanted to create a one-of-a-kind painting, but lacked the Big Idea?  Here, for your use, is a collection of whimsical quotations about animals.  Each quote brings a silly image into my head.  If some of them appeal to you, compose your image in a few thumbnail sketches, then enlarge your favorite on a larger surface and PLAY.  Please feel free to share any results that come from this inspiration. I'll put them on this site.
 
 
 
ODD ANIMAL QUOTES FOR PAINTING INSPIRATION
 
Just cuz U got the monkey off Ur back—doesn't mean the circus has left town" ~ George Carlin
 
“Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite & furthermore always carry a small snake.” ~ WC Fields
 
“A gentleman is simply a patient wolf.” ~ Lana Turner

 
“I saw a rabbit standing in front of a candle making shadows of people on a tree.” ~ Stephen Wright
 
The old classic: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."
 
“The turtle makes progress only when he sticks his neck out.” ~ James Bryant Conant
 
“He's as mad as a hippo with a hernia!" ~ Zazu
 
“An artist is simply a kind of pig snouting truffles.”
 
“All music is folk music, I ain't never heard no horse sing a song” ~ Louis Armstrong
 
“Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.”
 
 
 
Keep creating, think like an artist! Have fun!

 
Cheers!
