Stilton

(12" x 12", oil on canvas)

A small slice of blue-veined cheese with a flash of blue foil attached was the inspiration for this small piece. 

Looking for the right balance, I spent a fair amount of time adding detail to the wine glass, only to take it out again. While I needed the glass for the composition, I did not want it to overwhelm the other elements, preferring instead to keep it as more of a background player.
