Le bol bleu avec quarze, quarze rose,  et jaspe rouge


I started this painting as an attempt at putting more geometry in to my paintings and limited myself to a still life of one blue bowl and three oval gems . I had three to hand which were crystal quarz,, rose quarz and red jasper . Each has its own individual properties that I also considered .The palette was deliberately muted so I felt better able to concentrate on form. However, the colours seem to have taken on an
 unexpected dynamic of their own .
