still life


This was done quite quickly. I never did finish it, but would have liked to have done more with the flowers. Its best to work on a painting as a whole in the early stages, composition, rather than focusing on one section.

  5. You should go to the Sir John Soane's Museum (in Lincoln Inn Fields). It's really inspiring.

  6. Thank you for stopping my blog, and thanks for your ecouraging words!

    This is a really good quick sketch, I think. I like the roughness of it, quick, decicive strokes which reveal a trained eye!

    See you around.
