i mean the drawing on this basket was pretty intensive. It's not 1 to 1, but honestly I feel like if I can't copy something super realistic naturally I shouldn't expend more effort than is necessary. pic related took 5 days, which was well out of my comfort zone cause I did like 4 paintings yesterday alone. But I'm making huge strides towards more intense idealization and realism compared to where I was a year ago through a lot of smaller exercises and occasional longer paintings.

If my observational work looks abstracted or "impressionist" it's simply because I'm not a good enough painter yet because oftentimes I go into still lifes saying I want to make it as realistic as possible. Just doesn't happen that way yet.

I'm getting recognition for more abstract pieces though, they're getting accepted into shows, I just think they misrepresent me most of the time because I'm honestly striving towards realism and idealization like they did in the Renaissance, and view most of Impressionism and Cubism as fairly amateur compared to what had been done before it.
