work in progress...

painting wall



The last week or so I have started a series of paintings of single found objects - mostly vessels of one sort or another that I have found in the ruins that dot the landscape around here.  For me, still life painting is a way of slowing things down, and slowing the viewer down.  Contemplating abandoned objects introduces an element of randomness, and is way of avoiding prettiness and sentimentality (I hope!).  Happy Christmas!
