An old coffee pot and gin bottle taking on the textures from the east coast beaches and cliffs. Scarborough Spa and and harbour make up the view behind.
A Streptocarpus and Cyclamen sit side by side on a kitchen table. The composition has a flattening graphic treatment, owing the tilt forward to Cezanne.

I've long admired plant and flower paintings of Winifred Nicholson (nee Roberts – no relation but I like the coincidence), Often she depicted landscape behind the plants, pots and window ledges in her compositions, for my own work, at the moment, I'm interested in simple abstraction of the interior, or other addition of other everyday objects and people in the home. Painting our house plants is like creating a portrait of a loved family member.
