What inspires you?

[Grainne]

Ok, so this is a new thread that I've thought of posting for awhile. As writers, poets, musicians, artists, I hope that we all inspire each other. So, for the purpose of this thread, what art inspires those of us who use the other part of our brains (writers, musicians, poets, etc.) I will start..

For me the long time stand by is Monet's Water Lilies..any part of his Water Lilies..I look forward to the day when I can just get lost in the whole length of the work..this is dedicated to the memory of my sister...whom I always meet there...

Monet's "Water Lilies"

If this was what you're trying click quote and you'll see the code.

It's a beautiful painting and I'm happy for you that it brings your sister's memory back to you.

What inspires me is this song;

Sunshine

It's one of the songs from X men, but I basically had this song playing for nearly the entire duration that I was writing my novel, simply having this song put on repeat. It has a very soothing effect and puts my mind in a tranquil state that just allows the creativity to flow. I got it on mp3 as well now. It's only a pity that it's not a perfect repeat at the end since it fades away a bit there, so there is always a few seconds at the end that you're pulled out of your rhythm, but apart from that it's great.
