Inspirations

So I woke up today thinking about how very shallow my art is, and I realized I'm not so sure what inspires me anymore. It's very easy to take everyday things for granted, and not realize the beauty that's around us, so I decided to make a list of things that inspire me. Comments on what inspires you would be very helpful as well!
  1. The way a man can look at a woman he loves with eyes that only see her.
  2. The morning mountains and how they can look cold and regal, but also how the pink glow makes them look warm and inviting.
  3. Children and they're ability to look at everything with new eyes.
  4. Old coins. When I come across them I like to imagine who's held them, how far they've traveled, the history they've seen.
  5. The human body, more specifically, skin.
  6. The silence of snow.
  7. The earth and how it's beauty ceases to amaze me.
