Portraits v. Landscape v. Still Life?
I have an unresearched theory about many of us realistic painters....and here it is....
It seems to me that there are three general categories of realism; Portraiture, Landscape and Still Life. Most of the artists that I have met are pretty good in two of these categories - seldom all three.
I do both portraits and still life, but can't produce a decent landscape painting no matter how hard I try unless it is in the background of a portrait or still life - no kidding. Every now and then I try a landscape but find it difficult at best...this past year I have only painted one that I am not ashamed of....ouch.
Has anyone else observed this seemingly odd phenomenon?
