This painting I painted in the Spring of this year. Outside my studio I look onto a town house with shutters on the windows, I noticed after lunch the light was making the shutters throw off wonderful shadows and this inspired the painting. To give the piece more depth I painted a vase with flowers and placed them in front of the shutter but rubbed out most of the vase, this made the image even more interesting and makes the viewer question the piece, that little bit more.
