Welcome to Inspire Me Thursday...   A weekly dose of inspiration for

Abandoned Art

Ever give up on a piece of art that just wasn’t turning out as expected? Sometimes there’s no choice but to throw it away, but other times we might hold on to it with hope that someday we might get inspired to finish it. Your challenge this week is to search your studio for those abandoned pieces of art that are beckoning you to finish them! It might be fun to show a before and after photo of the piece of art.

– or –

If you have no abandoned, unfinished art, then your challenge is to be inspired by the word ‘abandon’… interpret as you wish.

[This week's challenge is inspired by Miz Carla who recently posted a piece of art she just finished after finding it abadoned in her art room.]

· · ·

Create a piece of art for this challenge, post it on your blog, then leave your link* in the comments section of this post so we can go check it out.

* To ensure it is easy for us to find your artwork, please provide a link to a static page that will always show your submission, and not your website’s main page.

    This is something I decided to make for this prompt. So many things are abandoned for decay.

    This is a great prompt, Melanie! It inspired me to not give up on the painting I posted, and it also got my mind wrapping itself around a few other unfinished-paintings-in-waiting.

    What a great challenge! I’ve read & enjoyed your blog for a while now, but I just had to participate in this one. It was actually pretty fun to dig through my pile of half-finished items… think I’ll be finishing more of those now!

    This is my first post and ironically not the typical art I do, but I think a sewing project counts.

    Okay, here is my collage that I started in 2003, and finished in 2006. In 2003, I left it out on display in my home because I liked it, but I did not feel it was ‘done’. in 2006, a call for a juried art show got me to take it out & finish it. I love it now. On my website:
