This little aluminum teapot has been around the studio for awhile
now. I had been thinking and toying around with a larger composition for it. But
I just seemed to keep coming back to the simple statement of the pot.
The unique shape and great surface gives this little
object a lot of character.
That's what influenced me to pick it up at a yard sale in
the first place, so I figure I need to go with that first impression.
The only way to evolve as a painter is to recognize those
first impressions, that initial inspiration that made you say, this I must
paint.
