I have had a number of people ask me why I am painting still life lately and on such a small scale. Quite simply the reason is, that I am enjoying the more structured nature of painting these still life forms. There is a real meditative quality to looking into, at and around a simple white bowl or cup, or whatever the object is and trying to capture it. I am also working on a small scale out of necessity because while working on the larger "Nuage" pieces (which is still ongoing) I found that it was very stressful on my back and hip, so working on this smaller scale, gives me some time to recuperate and still allows me to work.

Trial of larger "Nuage" pieces in interior / lit setting to check scale/composition and tonal qualities.

Works in situ

I found these photographs sent to me of my works in domestic settings.

It is always nice to see them outside of the studio/gallery environment and in 'real' world situations.
