Still-life with Paint Can & Plant, Oil on Board, 20x20cm.
I used to do lots of still-life paintings, one of my favourite things to paint. This one is fairly recent but I haven’t posted it on here yet.
On a recent trip to the
@museumwales with
@emilycnorton I found this amazing little Morandi (swipe to see) who was always my main inspiration for this kind of painting. I loved seeing his wonky brushwork, not a straight line in the entire painting up close.
I thought it would be nice to share one of my takes on the still-life genre, taken from a photo from an old shed in Ireland that had become slightly overgrown. I’m still making these kinds of paintings, maybe this will be part of a larger body of work—found objects from everyday life in rural Ireland.
