What to Paint

Via What’s in Rebecca’s Pocket, some, um, interesting ideas for paintings from the New Yorker.

Stampede of Nudes: … What has frightened these nudes? Is it the lightning in the background? Or did one of the nudes just spook? You don’t know, and this creates tension.

The Repentant Cameron Diaz: Cameron Diaz, her tear-streaked face lit by a candle, gazes wistfully at a photograph of me.

Still-Life with Rabbit: A wooden table is chockablock with fruit, cheese, and a glass of wine. To one side is a dead rabbit, a dead pheasant, and a dead eel. And you’re thinking, Thanks for the fruit, but, man, take better care of your pets.

So, if you’re ever suffering from painter’s block, you obviously need look no further for inspiration.
