We all have out rituals.
Mine is before I paint I sit down and look at my tumblr.
I love seeing what other people collect, I see things that I would not normally see
and I collect images for my own image bank.
Each image I collect holds some form of wealth for a future painting.
I saw the 'Whistler' photo on yellowtrace this morning, which lead me here. (always a great sight if you like fashion editorials. )
They are from a collaboration with photographer Peter Lippman and Christian Louboutin.
They have been blended seamlessly to create photographs made to look like old paintings. I also love the fantasy side, perhaps Whistlers mother really did have a pair of fancy boots underneath her petticoat?
