[Susan Abston Wiley, Artist] Pewter and Glass, Orange and Eggs

[Susan Abston Wiley]

Last day of Carol Marine's workshop, she let us select our set up and paint from that, with no specific exercise other than to apply the lessons learned that week.  Since Carol does metal and glass so well, I decided to use both in my still life so I could avail myself of her teaching expertise here.  I'm not totally convinced the little glass  votive reads right, but I'm happy with the pewter pitcher, including its dimple on the side that makes the orange's reflection even more distorted.  A fun painting to do!
