Self Critique and Vitamin Therapy

In casting an objective eye over the four abstracted landscapes currently languishing in my studio, I was struck by the one big problem with them. They are trite. They are too constructed, too formulaic. Not at all the wide swaths of color I had in my head. After this revelation, I went in with texture paste and smeared it randomly over the already (badly) painted surface. That will help!

And in order to get myself to feeling better I concocted a protein shake full of vitamins, minerals, soy and whey, plus numerous plant extracts (including spirulena) and threw in some 5HTP (for mood). How does it taste? Well I added pineapple extract in sufficient quantity to almost disguise the heavy dose of vitamins. Almost.
