In working with the
painting I have decided to keep the pewter plate as one form with its complete
ellipse. This makes the form more complete somehow and breaking it would seem
contrived and really be a fudge – avoiding the complexity of creating a
convincing plate form in paint. Of course, the integration of the form with the
overall composition is another question. This will be achieved through colour
areas emphasising the imagined shadows or tonal effect and by having a
transparent dimension to the form to allow interlocking and compositional
elements to flow across the painting. The strong diagonal form from top left to
centre right will run through the bottom of the plate form – at least to start
with.
