The beginning of a new painting. This is actually the first painting I will have done in over a year as I was creating artwork photography and projections over the past 12 months.

The oil painting will be called ‘Running Out of Ideas’, which was the state of mind that I was in – 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 interpretation of how I could convey that thought.
