Day 16: A picture of someone who inspires you

Today is day sixteen of the 30 day photo challenge. Today's photo is a picture of someone who inspires you.

My choice is Edgar Degas


I am a huge fan of Impressionism. I love Monet and Degas. But something about the ballerinas Degas painted, really captures me and gives me so much inspiration through my artwork. I even recreated myself in a self portrait as a Degas ballerina one year in school for a project. It turned out beautifully. His figures and use of color really draw me to work like him in my paintings.

  7. I love Degas (although Renoir is my favorite). The Degas display at the Musee D'Orse in Paris was amazing. I think it was the best exhibit I have ever seen.
