This is oils on stretched canvas, 11×14. I recently got this vase at a thrift store specifically for painting. The dark blue is shiny and the bottom teal is rough. I thought it was a very pretty vase.
I also thought that I would show the setup. I don’t normally like showing my reference, but maybe it will help someone to see that for most painters, you don’t get a photographic likeness. I used to actually get very stressed out and depressed when I could not do that. But, I am now settling into the fact that most do not and that art is the interpretation of a subject, not an exact replica. Even artistic photographs are not exact replicas, they usually are more beautiful than reality. So, this is what I painted from:
I love painting still lifes because there’s a feeling of musical, flowing experience. The drawing doesn’t matter as much – what you’re really after is a feeling of clarity and beauty. — Jacob Collins
exists to create art which reflects the beauty and the glory of God, to use art to comfort and encourage people, and to inspire others to pursue the arts. 
I really love the colors. And the reflection of the light.
Very good.
Mr. Beloved.
