Vintage Kitchen
(Oil on canvas 28" x 22")

I picked up this tin canister at a local flea market a few weeks ago and I haven't stopped painting it since! I simply love its personality on the canvas. True, at first glance it is rather plain, but a second look reveals many beautiful details to explore. For instance, the wire handle is slightly bent out of shape, rusted in parts, and casts a beautiful shadow. The slight blue stripe at top and bottom adds a nice color note. The top is quite complex when compared to the base, and the white(ish) surface is perfect for reflecting local color.
