My Secret to Staying Inspired - Why I Started Painting

Sometimes in life, it's our most difficult moments that show us our true path. For me, it was a particularly difficult time, full of physical hardships and busy family life, that pushed me towards painting.

Today, I'm sharing with you the story of how I started painting, what inspired my first photorealistic artwork, and what keeps me motivated!

Painting not only helps me connect to my creative side, but it also restores me and helps me to notice all the good things going on around me - something that can be very difficult without truly disconnecting from your busy routine.

So come join me for a little chat in the bush, and I hope you leave feeling inspired to explore your local walking tracks, parks, or even backyard! If you can, go out and take a photo of something to paint or draw and see what really interests you about the world around you - you might be surprised by what you find.

Let me know in the comments what inspires you to keep painting? What started you on your journey of creativity?
