Michael www.pfleghaar.com michael@pfleghaar.com Commentary At my third mentor meeting today, Jill Eggers suggested that I should keep painting over all the work that I thought was completed so far this semester. She said the work is still too much about the object its depicting and not enough about painting and too decorative. She suggested this so that I push the work beyond recognition, and abstract the objects even more. I have painted some really wonderful pieces that speak to me so far this semester and this will be the hardest thing for me to do, but I guess this was not meant to be easy. Feeling like a failure today.
