My best friend is an artists and her muse, the subject for all her art, has been the man she loves. He left her and now she has stopped making art. she believes that if her muse is gone she cant make art. I would like to help her find a new muse, she is an amazing artists. her mediums are oil paint, charcoal, pastels and regular sketching
I always find inspiration in nature. You should try to get her to sketch a landscape.
What are some inspirational topics for artwork?

If she is that good she does not need a muse, and if she says she does, it is just a way of blaming him for her not being able to do any art work.Unless he did most of it to begin with.
I want to tell you a quick story about a muse. years ago when i married my second wife,she to could draw and paint but no that well So I helped her quite a bit with her work
long story short she started community college for art and was doing just ok she would come home and throw all these things around the room and i would ask her what is wrong and she would say the teacher wants us to do this or do that . and she had no idea of what to do. so I would help her or even do it myself and she would take the credit for it in school. Even the other subjects like english my other friend would proof read her homework for her and she was getting A’s and A plus.
Well the kicker to all this that I just told you was she got a scholar ship to a prestigious art college. And she had to turn it down because she left me for another younger guy and now had no one to help her any more. The guy she left me for knew nothing at all about art. And mind you this was a full paid scholarship but she knew she could not do it on her own.
This is a true story. Plus she broke my heart in two the day she left me.Was I her muse

It sounds like she’s not so much suffering from a lack of inspiration, but a broken heart. I know sometimes when I’ve felt pretty down on life the last thing I wanted to do was pick up my sketchbook or paintbrush. But some artists find their best inspiration in these harder times.
Personally, what I would recommend you do is be there for her as a friend. Help her through the emotional things she’s going through and help her to regain her confidence and optimistic outlook on life. When things get back on track, she’ll mire than likely get back into her art with even more passion than before!
Life’s an ongoing learning curve and it’s sometimes through the hard times we learn the most - perhaps she’ll even take that and put it into her art when her passion returns…
