Both the chrome punch cup and the Delft vase where purchases made on my recent trip to North Georgia. Each of the items in this still life was a different challenge. The cup came easily to me, but that vase! When I paint a "hand painted" object I generally fail to get the background values correct before I begin in with the decoration. This vase was not an exception. Believe me when I tell you to get those values right FIRST before decorating! It will save you a lot of time.
My collection of painting props keeps growing and shelf space is diminishing. I have the best inspiration when a new object is waiting in the wings for its first painting. I've been looking for a while for a vase of this sort, a silver goblet and silver cup all of which I have now. The goblet still needs the silver polish and a handsome piece of fruit to accompany it and it'll be ready to paint.

What a great job you did! I can well imagine the difficulty of getting the values on that vase. All your hard work paid off! I like everything about this painting...all the colors in the cup and the soft folds of the cloth.
Marilyn, I love your delft vase!! how pretty it is!! and I know what you mean about painting the design on. I recently painted little delft s& p shakers and was really puzzled at how to go about it! You did a great job! The cup is awesome too!
Love it, very well done! Color, composition, drawing, edges and values all handled with skill.
