It is good but not easy to do something new. Be honest with you, I have run out subjects I really want to paint. You know I like apples a lot, but I think I had painted too many of them. Last night, I was in my studio, looking at all my still life objects. None of them I really want to paint. This power drill was among the last things I wanted to look at. The reason I paint it was that I have never painted it before. But to my surprise, I kind of like it.

Your choice of subject, tonality and brushwork shows your individuality and spirit. It inspires me to challenge myself on new and different subjects. I like the composition and palette selection.
When I first saw this I actually could help myself from saying "oh my god" out loud. I just think it's amazing rendering. Beautiful work.
My first reaction: what? Yes, I liked it too! The drill's diagonal placement,the electric cord over it, the intense red of the on/off button,the shadow of the cord- all very nice. Holds your attention for some time.
I was so surprised to see your latest! I never knew a drill could be so beautiful.
this is great stuff you got here! I'll be back often!
Beautiful....It proves art is what you bring to the subject...not the subject itself.
I like this, so different for you. You paint a lovely drill.
amazing what you've created from a power drill. i like it too. a lot!
Jim Dine made beautiful lithographs of his studio tools in the 60's - you've captured your drill in a loving way as well. More tool paintings!
