    Books and Flowers

    By Dion Archibald

    First of all I like to be familiar with my subject matter. Painting still life works for me has simply been an acknowledgment of my surroundings. Everywhere we look in our homes there is a painting just waiting to happen. I can be inspired by a toothbrush, a pile of shoes, or a collection of bottles. The term "artist's block" sounds foreign to me as I love the act of painting and see new and exciting subjects to be painted everyday. This particular work is of a pile of favourite artist books and a vase of plastic flowers from my toilet.
