In fact, they are all creations, complied from photos of any number of places or items that feels right for the painting. The idea is to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">instill</span> in the viewer the feeling of "being there", to create a connection between the viewer and my art. The more convincing the illusion, the more successfully I've accomplished my goal.<br />The chief inspiration for "Along the Coast" was a series of different photos from Padre Island, Texas, along with some images from New Jersey beaches and Pensacola, Florida</span>.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><a href="http://www.btkeller.com/">http://www.btkeller.com/</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3398037077039317375-6885802451733630246?l=btkellerart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>B.
