The Blue Lamp Corner is an oil painting created using a limited palette. It depicts a corner of my living room where we keep documents, diaries, and various bits and bobs.
The main attraction, for me, was the old blue lamp, which I particularly love for its shape and colour.

Below, you can see a monochrome photo of the painting. I like to take these at various stages of the process—this one was taken at the final stage and shows the tonal values in the image.
I have a particular fascination with monochrome paintings and photographs; I believe they add a personal character to the subject and a greater sense of directness.
Here, you can also see the painting photographed both at an early stage of the process and once it was completed.
