Into the second half of September a relocation of the painting 'studio' took place, moving into the conservatory in search of better natural light conditions in which to observe and paint. The first results produced in this new environment are (re)presented below, the objects being arranged against a white paper background and upon a similar length of white melamine shelving as before, the all-over light source reducing shadow contrasts considerably which probably serves the concept of 'white paintings' more appropriately.
Getting even more minimal, pared down, the first painting features but a solitary object, one of the whitewashed model pears.

Whilst the second painting features a pair of the pears, almost touching in the oft-composed manner.
