Quite the dark number for me. I wanted to key it all down to get more pop out of the highlights. Also trying to experiment a bit more with a low color subject matter but painting it with my same color vision. Pretty interesting. This also ties in to the 'Looking Through' concepts and obscuring things with transparent glass. I ended up actually creating a wall of transparent glass. I was looking at Morandi again and wondering once more why the way he shoved all his objects together works the way it does. So I'm doing a bit of shoving myself to catch the vibe.

This sweet little raspberry geranium my friend gave me was also featured in Hearty Breakfast
