A still life oil painting I did several years ago. It was quite a challenge, rendering the two opposite textures: shiny yet rather matte white and blue porcelain next to the highly reflective metal pitcher. We had a metal pitcher just like it in my home growing up, used for milk. I remember many times staring fascinated at my distorted reflection in it during breakfast. Perhaps that is why I chose the object, since it was so familiar and almost dear to me in a mundane sort of way.
I didn't quite finish the red onions, though.
Detail of the reflection.
This painting is 16 x 20".
You can see the preliminary sketches of this painting here.
