I finally got time to post up this painting I completed a couple months ago. My latest artwork is called ‘Running Out of Ideas’. I was in a state of mind where I couldn’t think of anything to paint. While I was waiting for that ‘bulb’ to light up, upon thinking of a great idea, I thought maybe my ‘bulb’ is broke, which led to this conceptual, surrealist painting which conveys the irony of that idea.

I have finished the painting ‘Running Out of Ideas’. I might paint a bit of blue on the smoke, adding more colour and extra interest to the artwork.

I have started working on the light bulb, adding colour and detail to the screw and painting a base layer on the glass. With the next part, I will paint the glowing filament that has burnt out with bright and colourful smoke to bring this painting to life and completion.
