There is no better source of inspiration than what has captured your heart. Ranging in styles and era-inspired, show us your painting that glimpses into how and where your heart is in the right place. Your painting could represent a smile of a special someone, or the scent of a home-cooked meal, or colors and sounds from your favorite walking paths, or memories beneath the photos of a landmark, a scenery from your trips, etc. We know that every circle, square, and triangle that frame a painting has a story to tell — including yours!
