I, too, know that phenomenon – a word, phrase, or a rhythm for a poem. Even a shape that need to be put down on canvas.

It seems to me that, like you indicate, it is connected with what is already happening in the mind, conscious or not, so that during periods where I paint, I get more painting ideas, during periods where I am in a poetic mood, such details pop up.

Ideas come from somewhere, and they come when the right inspiration for them is there, so being in an inspired mood, like when going for a walk in the nature, it is – to me – obvious that more ideas will appear. The beauty of the world, or strange impressions, or anything else that sparks thinking will add to the cocktail of thoughts and ideas already boiling in the back of the head, and both useful and more strange things can come out of that :)

The first photo has a deep, painterly feel. Very nice.
