Choose this because of the palette and painterly quality.   A copy can be found on the Google Art Project site. 
I did a study of this still life for practice and to get me thinking about still lifes in general. I had signed up for a 1 week course of still life in oils.  A big investment for me in time and money so I wanted to get the most out of it. The course was followed by a two day drawing workshop all part of Draw in in Belfast.  In the next few post I will show some work and talk about what the experience was like.

Did a cloud study in oils (12"x 8").  Photo of the study is not so great.  Will try a take a better one and replace.
