5" x 7" oil on gessoed panel
I bought a worn silver cup at a thrift store a while back that I have really wanted to paint for a while now. There was no special idea behind this one, just a combination of silver, orange, and blue, using my favorite backdrop cloth (which is actually a ladies pajama top, I think). The orange is an Australian blood orange acquired at a local upscale market store, of interest to me because it's red more than "orange". I thought about showing it partly peeled, but a blood orange with the flesh showing looks a bit freaky. Maybe I should have done that for Halloween...
