Aubergine

My husband saw this beautiful, shiny eggplant, and brought it home for me. He is my very own male muse.

He also suggested that I should consider moving on, and start painting people, or someting. And to be honest, I’m slowly starting to get bored with these still life paintings. My first goal was to force my eye to see, and train technique. The second step would be to explore new territories, and to actually express something. Not there yet though!

As I said earlier, I’ve done the first part in art school, but that was more than 15 years ago, and I haven’t really been painting since. Is this how it feels like when you’re learning how to walk again after a stroke? Shaky, sometimes frustrated, yet glad to be alive.

Yep, it’s time to call this the “Still Period”, put these on display in a gallery, sell them, and move on to the next great Period. Each great artist has those, right?

  You are right! But I don’t think one month counts as a period :-D
  
  Thanks for visiting!

  Happy Valentine’s to you too, Alina!
  
  Well, maybe these (powdered 80′s tones) are the colors that I don’t feel much for, but as you say, I try playing with them anyway. Next up: a red series. Red was your favorite color, wasn’t it? ;-)
