Metal paint palettes


When I looked at our shiny, metal paint palettes loaded with watercolour, brushes resting across them, it occurred to me that they would make a good subject for a painting. Or even a semi-abstract photograph. So I took them to various locations in search of good light, reflections and backgrounds. After much trial and error the best location proved to be the interior window sill of the study. Here the blue sky, orange of the curtains and white of the window frame brought them to life.
