A little bit on "Artist Fetish". There is this thing about being an artist. It's not just me! All artists I know have this strange behavior. It changes in the object of attention from time to time, but seems to always be there lurking under the surface. The fetish: well, it seems that there is always something out there that the artist "needs" and will be sure to work a miracle and bingo! your painting improves!
You know, a new brush, easel, particular color or maybe a new brand of paint will do it! I went through the brush fetish for a long time, and the pochade box fetish (the most expensive one).
I think I am cured for now, but know it will be back....
