Still Life Studies of My Stuff: Blue and Green Vases

I realized that if I only paint my stuff, I will never get to paint anything in the cool end of the palette. So I picked up theses two vases at a thrift store. Their sparkling blue and green colors actually complement my terracotta kitchen very well.
They remind me of some beautiful ocean colors I've seen that are a very long way from Colorado.

Still Life Studies of My Stuff: Cream & Sugar 2

This creamer and sugar bowl was given to my mother as a wedding present, so I remember it vividly from my childhood. What always fascinated me about it was the color intensity of the red glass. It is just a vivid today as it was the day it was given.
