LLAWN02 – The Presence Of Absence – post one

Pewter plate made by Charles Bray, Pewterer, Cranbourne St, Leicester square, London. Prob 19thc, 220 mm in diameter. I do not know the object and have not seen it. I have to imagine it and create an image about it. Imagination is fundamental to creativity so this task is, in one important aspect, essential to the making of a painting. The actual and its illusion are not always directly linked; the reality here in pictorial terms must develop only from the imagination.
