Still Life Studies of My Stuff: Cups

Still Life Studies of My Stuff: Cups
These cups match the Creamer and Sugar Bowl I did earlier. If I keep painting these dishes I'll soon have a whole place setting.I found some neat square frames that go well with these 6x6 panels. The frames had a mat and glass, which I threw away, since the oil panels do not need to be matted under glass. That left a one half inch space between the panel and the frame which creates a neat shadow box effect.

Still Life Studies of My Stuff: Cream & Sugar

oil painting of Van Gogh pattern china by Carol Nelson
This is the creamer and sugar bowl of my "good" china. This pattern of china had several variations of color based on Impressionist painters. I chose the Van Gogh colors selection and I just love it.
I like the bold composition of this painting and the perspective of the viewer being straight on as opposed to looking at the objects from above.
