I will be painting a version of this still life arrangement again. After photographing from several different angles, I came up with a couple of views that I just have to do. The colors in the white pitcher were amazing. I picked up green, blue, pink and purple. I want to try this in Pastel to see how it will work. The pitcher came from Manchester, Vermont. We got it (actually we have two) on our honeymoon, at a cooking store who's name escapes me. One now has a chip but I still use them for my half and half in my coffee. An ordinary everyday object, yet also a little reminder of Manchester and North Hero, Vermont & many years of pleasant memories.Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Lovely as always. The colors are so subtle. White and blue has a very English feel to it.
How lovely to have such a nice reminder Holly. I love the shades of blue, pink and cream on this one. A pastel of this would be beautiful.
Thank you Kay - I found it interesting how much color there is in a white pitcher.
Hi Cathy, We had an unplanned honeymoon, just got in the car and went to Vermont. Best holiday I ever had. I love the mountains and the farms.
Holly, you artworks are a pleasure to view. This piece has a wonderful balance to it and it is fascinating indeed to actually see all those beautiful soft colours reflected in the white pitcher.
Masterfully rendered imo.
Thank you Perugina, I am learning with each new piece.
