Here are some of the multiple sources of reference and inspiration used to bring this idea to life. It’s taken me a long time to figure out how to start with an idea from my imagination then combine multiple types of reference (like inspiration from historical art, working from life and photo reference) to realize an idea in a way that I’m happy with. #paintingfromtheimagination #paintingfromlife #americanmuseumofnaturalhistory #nycart #nycartist #canadianart #canadianartist #narrativepainting #figurativepainting #animalpainting #animalart #surrealistart #skeleton #bigcat #leopard #anaconda #ayahuascaart #monkeys #mothernature #artistsofinstagram @beautifulbizarremagazine #fbf https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Xpv20l7lT/?igshid=eyjehn168f3c
