I thought I'd do this thread since I dont see one around - but post some images, painting, whatever that inspire you:

The Gulf Stream by Winslow Homer - I dont know what it is about it, but this painting has always scared the shit outta me. I know its got to do with the sharks, I'm pretrified of the sea, but its one of those rare paintings that actually makes me fee dread.
