My most recent painting.We were given a 2x3” black and white xerox copy of this picture and we had to paint it 30x40” in the colors of Rembrandt or Caravaggio.  I sort of despised this assignment.  I am so uninspired by still lifes, yet our professors feel that they are the best way to judge what kind of skills we have at this point.  I felt that mine was mediocre.  I got a B+.  It could use some more work, but I am quitting. When will we get to use our real talent? sigh.
