Gold and Glass III

6x6 acrylic on panel

collection of Diane Saslaw

This was a fun one.... yes, youve seen this cup before, but I made a few changes to it for this painting. everything is rounder, cleaner- I really wanted it to just be focused on the glowing tea and the sunlit glass. And the tea part was working out fine, but the glass just wasnt there, and just wasnt there, and just wasnt... and then, when I put the pale-blue-grey reflections on the side of the teacup, all of a sudden it was there. Most paintings have that moment, the step that really makes them sing, but for this one it was so pronounced, you know? Makes me happy :)
