Hi Timid T, Like yourself I have not been a fan generally of the still life in painting or art generally but I set myself the task to try to bring something interesting to that format in a Tiki/Primitive art form --- as I said before I was thinking of Leeteg et al and going for something a bit smoky and soft. It the painting always better that the objects being represented? Are you saying the paintings in still life are always better than the subject matter? If so I quite agree for the most part but when you see a really nice still life with fantastic subject matter and use of light and shade it can be really effective also.
