Try doing some master stdieus. Pick one of your favorite famous paintings and go for it! You will learn so much trying to master what the masters did. . . that you will kick-start your ideas. . . I swear! A variation on this idea is to change a famous painting. How about Vermeer's Girl With a Pearl Earring with glasses? Or Van Gogh's bedroom with an x-box in it? Or Monet's poppy field with you or your mom or someone you know walking in it? There you go! . . I know you have some ideas brewing now. . . . .
