Hi Inje, hey good question it will get people to know each other here! Im Anwar Im a recent college grad (B.F.A). Anywho Im tortured because i am stuck between my love for traditional still life painting and the newer POP grounded collage as a basis for a painting. Its really tearing me apart! Totally delaying my progress but I cant help it. I love Realist Still Life such as perhaps Chardin or more recent ones suuch as Morandi or Luciano. Oh I just melt mentioning the names! Basically it is still life painting from direct observation and the result is illusionistically realist. On the other hand Collage based paintings incorperating contemporary visual experiences such as photographs magizine pictures and consumer products is fresh and potentially optimistic in a uniquely contemporary way .....Oh man Im stuck but thats where Im at. Hey any one else come on join in!! : hi everyone,
: rather than HOW you paint, i'm just wondering WHAT you paint. where do you get your composition ideas from. do you use live models/photos/drawings? do you paint figurative (ie, people). i assume most of us here would? are you imaginative/abstracted or more realistic?

: just curious....
