I have been experiment with still life paintings lately (hence the image above). It has been a rather frustrating experience. I find still life paintings very uninspiring and I lose all motivation to paint. But I do think it is a rather good exercise technically. So i press onward.

I have also been reading the "Reenchantment of Art" by Suzi Gablik, which has proved to be much more interesting and beneficial. I am finding more and more how postmodern I am as an artist and it is exciting.
