7 x 5 in.

I’ve been sorting through my "inspiration" files over the last couple of days. My inspiration files are a collection of tear sheets mostly from magazines that I’ve saved over the years. It’s basically like a big vision/inspiration board housed in a box with file folders separating out all the different categories. And whenever I’m looking for painting ideas or simply some inspiration, I open the box.

In today’s search I found this gorgeous red tub. Since I’m still experimenting with adding more realism to my daily paintings ~ I wondered just how could I use this red tub in a painting with my characters and this is what came to mind! When I renovate or build my next bathroom, I’m SO having a red claw foot tub like this one.
