Blue mug and oranges Painting

The painters I most admire are those who seem to be able to authentically present their subjects just as they were to the viewer, such as Chardin, Zurbaran, Morandi and Uglow. In the works of these artists the subjects seem more real than in reality. This mysterious achievement comes from an authenticity and intensity of observation, and an ability to strip away clutter and organise a subject to be most representative of itself. I attempt in my own way to emulate something of the qualities of these great painters. Robert Talbot lives and works in the UK.
