I saw that Apple had put out a set of VR googles “Apple Vision Pro” that cost $3500. I’m slightly shocked at the cost and how awful they look. Toys for rich people.

It’s all terribly gauche.

I was working at my day job yesterday and didnt have time for painting, but in spare moments was thinking about what to paint for the future, and I’m pretty conflicted about that. I had an amazing idea two days ago about making something that was architectural and rococo but with Sci-if and fantasy elements. That ran out of steam about half a day later. Then I had some ideas about sticking with the knife painting and doubling down on the work that I had started way back in lockdown, to capture skies and light. And this is the crux of the matter. I am overrunning with ideas, but don’t have the time or the energy to attempt them all. Or the studio space. or a studio to have space in. This is a problem that will need a solution at some point.

Working out what to paint next is becoming a bigger and bigger issue for me though. If you have reference photos that you don’t mind me using to make a painting from please let me know. And if you have ideas for paintings that I should do also don’t hesitate to share that with me.
