oil on canvas, 10" x 10"
I've had a lovely day off today - didn't accomplish as much as I had hoped but on your birthday its good just to chill a little! I have been really enjoying doing reflections so thought I would tackle this mug again. I thought lemons were hard to paint but they are not nearly so hard as oranges - who would think that something that has such an incredibly simple shape could be so difficult - way harder than an object with lots of detail. i might go back tomorrow and neutralise the colour in the far orange a little - might be a tiny bit too warm at the moment. Need to sleep on it and see what I think tomorrow. I'm thinking of trying out these setups with the mug in pastel too.

A belated Happy Birthday Anita. Just chilling on your birthday is good.
The reflections of the orange in the black is wonderful. Capturing reflections is always so interesting to do. And its true, seems the simpler the object, the harder it is to do.
I love the strong colours of the mug. Your pastel pic yesterday is lovely too. And happy birthday!
i really enjoy seeing complimentary colors together. this is very nice, Anita! that dark blue cup just pops with that reflection.
Happy Birthday - belatedly :>)
This is lovely and a really strong piece. Gorgeous reflections in the darkness.
Happy Birthday, Anita!
ooops! the cup was black? oh dear. i love this piece anyway.
Thank you Jeanette.
Annie - Its nice using strong colours sometimes. Nice and bright and cheery.
Billie - I think I used more black than blue so you can be forgiven!
Vivien - I do feel like I am coming to grips with using more paint.
Thank you Steve!
The mug rocks
