I have started to paint the hand, adding detail and contrast to the fingers of the closed fist. I hope to have the hand completed for the next ‘Work in Progress’. More to come.

This 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 from a painting.
