Glass Oilers

Part of the May Painting a day challenge

glass oilers

I liked this image because of the reflection of light coming through the dirty oilers. It was a great excuse to lay down a light was of yellow ochre before building up the darker shapes at the front of the painting. When the light is golden like this at about 4 in the afternoon the edge of objects show up as thin strips.

This picture was created at Breamore House Nr Fordingbridge in Dorset. The setting for a model steam rally for about 10 years.
