Occasionally, I will switch up mediums, constantly keep up to date on the new technologies of art materials, or in this case here, have experimented in various mediums before the wonderful 3D thick painting adventures.
One of my favorite outside places of inspiration are the artistic rocks of Joshua Tree National Park that create a lot of wonder at how the rocks were formed, seeing all the textures, and finding cave-like entrances. There are real petroglyphs (rock engravings from prehistoric times) there too.
