"I started this painting back in September and it was a struggle the whole
time I painted it. Some paintings just flow off the brush and others kick and
fight the whole way. It is one of those mysteries in being an artist. These
jugs are the ovoid type and have that great oval shape about them that I like
to paint. They are usually very shiny and that adds to the drama of the still
life- seeing the reflections in them.
My wife made the beautiful triangular patterned runner and the basket as
well. Now that the painting is finished I am warming up to it. For a while I wasn't
sure how it would turn out."
