source photos

I spent a few hours last week shooting hundreds of photos. I learned a lot when I started to paint from them. While I like the look of the blurred edges and ambiguities, I think it will be better to set up the chairs almost portrait-like (with controlled lighting , bringing in other objects etc) and interpret the lines and shapes with my eye rather than making the lens do that. I do like many of the compositions however.

I started a few studies from them. We'll see how it goes.
