Acrylic on wood, ready to hang.
Signed on the back.
This series of paintings had been brewing for some time. I hadn't painted for quite some time and was nervous tackling a new subject. Years ago I made long horizontal paintings of still life in gouache and I had been thinking about making new ones in acrylic on wood. I had spent time observing shelves in my home and when it came to setting up in the studio I wanted to retain the idea of shelf but inject space and let the objects breathe. The light in my studio is phenomenal, close observation of the reflected light and shadow are a crucial element.
