Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This is the second painting using the subject of pink grevilleas in a blue ceramic pot.
I had picked the flowers from a tree in my back garden. I then popped them into the blue pot and set it on an orange cane stool which resides in my studio. This simple set up with the mayhem of the studio in the background is the basis for this still life painting.
Whilst concentrating on the central motifs of the flowers and the stool, I also played with the geometric forms of the shadows on the adjacent white table. I felt these marks made a nice juxtaposition against the rounded and organic shapes of the other elements in the painting.
There are many layers of paint in this work; some have been almost obliterated whilst others just peep through. This layering of paint, as well as the extant brush marks, are a touch stone of this painting.
This is an oil painting and whilst superficially dry at the time of uploading, sending the painting may take up to a week as I would like to make sure that the surface is not at all wet.
