This is a silver gravy boat sitting on a wood table. I added two strawberries for color and a cloth napkin for more interest. Enjoy.

Sunlit glass - 18" x 24" oil
Well, here's the finished painting. Like I mentioned earlier, this is quite a bit larger than my normal paintings. I enjoyed the process of going large. It's different than doing a smaller painting. While working on smaller paintings I can spend all of my time sitting at the easel. With a large painting I kept having to get up, walk across the room to look at the progress. When you're close to this painting, it looks kind of like an abstract. You see just shapes and colors, but when you get across the room, it all comes together and looks pretty realistic. Enjoy.
