white pot II

white pot II (oil on board 30cm x 30cm) David Atkinson

I'm not really sure that this is finished really, but it might be.   I am experimenting with different approaches to still life, as can be guessed from the very different approach to the one earlier in the blog.  Here, the composition is more dynamic and the space is built up using individual brushstrokes.  I think that I am using these paintings as a means of exploring different ideas that I can bear in mind when I get to painting outside again - which I hope will be very soon.
