Broncos.

There is nothing better to me than going out and finding that kick of inspiration! 

This past week was packed with inspiring moments. 

For starters, I went to the stock show! Not just once, but twice! 

The first time I spent the entire day there, ending the day at the rodeo. 

Which was absolutely awesome. 

The bucking broncos, bull riders, and barrel racers were my favorite. 

The show reminded me as to why I love horses so much. These beautiful animals are so smart and powerful, they just have this way about them that I'm drawn to. 

Which made me rewind and start thinking about my next works and what I really want to accomplish.

Also, at the stock show I went to the Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale. 

Wow. What a show. 

I could have spent hours just staring at the art. My favorite work in the show was done by an artist, Sophy Brown. 

I found that I loved her work so much I spent hours the next day cruising through her website. 

I decided I'd like to meet her. 

I really liked a lot of the women artist in the show actually, in fact mainly the women artists. 

So all of this great stuff at the show made me want to go back for more so I went for a second round.

This time however, I went to the Dancing Horses show. 

It was fun to see all the different kinds of horses and abilities. It proves my point of how smart they are. 

I went to the art show again, I wanted to get as much out of it as I could.

This week I also got the opportunity to go to the Paris art show at the Denver Art Museum. 

Im a sucker for old paintings, so even though it was my second time I loved every minute of it. 

There is such a progression of the paintings and it amazes me how long they have existed and how the world loves them. 

This trip gave me such an appreciation for old art and respect towards humanity. Because, no matter what people want to understand and appreciated art. The artists that we love today created art that lasts. 

During that day at the museum, I went to artist studios as well. 

This was neat because it opened my eyes as to the possibilities and opportunities as a young artist. 

I didn't realize there was such a community artists in Denver, and this is how they make a living. 

To finish up, it was a great week of finding inspiration and the unexpected outside of the studio. 

All this made me question what my next move was gonna be. 

I felt very stumped and paralyzed to start creating.

So I just decided to go for it and create, cause I felt the need to. 

I started a painting that I feel good about, but now the question is what direction should I go with my art!
