Tin Can with Burren Daises



Tin Can with Burren Daises - Oil on Panel - 12"x9" - sold

This piece was the first still life painting I created upon arriving in my studio space in the Burren over a week ago. One of the MFA students called into see me at work and commented on the quality of light and atmosphere in this piece. Thanks Simon!
I also feel I have somehow captured the fragility and transient nature of these flowers. This sense is heightened and contrasted I hope by the industrial nature of the tin can which also carries a real narrative of its own.

With the last few pieces I have been enjoying working on a larger scale. This piece measures 12x9inches.

Hope you like it.
