About This Piece
My paintings start with observation but after a time will take on a life of their own and I enjoy responding to that.
For this one, I took some of my favourite things to set up a still life in my studio—the yellow jug (which I love), my blue patterned tablecloth and those delicious honey crisp apples. I taped a big piece of Stonehenge paper to the wall – drew and painted – drew and painted some more – changed the position of things – changed the colours of some of the objects, and kept on until I was satisfied that I had a painting!
