Nestle, 2008, oil on wood, cradled panel, 18.5cm x 13cm

These three ‘prayer eggs’ were bought many years ago, and still inspire awe in me.  They may be made of natural glass, or perhaps polished quartz.  They are smooth, and pitted and imperfect.  Translucent and opaque.  They lie, nestled in an oval boat-shaped vessel that could have been made for them, and make me calm just looking at them.

I don’t often paint still life, but this one was a joy, and captures a set of objects that are precious to me.

The sides of this piece are weathered.  Urban Jetsam.
