Hah! Lacking cash never stopped me. Then I print it out from a
magazine, and hang it on my bulletin board. :-)
I have a picture of a piece from my favorite inspirational sculptor
hanging on my bulletin board for 18 years now. The scuptor's name is
Tom Bennett.
Tom Bennett and Bob Bennett are twins who have a studio in
Placerville, near Sacramento, California. (Visit their studio
sometime, if you can.) Tom's daughter Terrie is now in the sculpture
business too. Tom creates inspirational (to me) bronze female
figures, his brother Bob creates more abstract bronze works, and
Terrie creates natural bronze works (dolphins, etc.)
Short Bio of Bob and Tom Bennett

To see the bronze sculptures that I like, go to the Bennett
Sculpture web site, then click on Bronze. Then look at the female
figures (*).

(*) Heroic females in art, fiction, and real life are important as
inspiration. I know that I seek out this kind of art. So in my
paintings on my walls at home and in my other art I frequently have
a woman in some form of exuberance or ecstasy.
