A New Still Life

My most recent still life. Because this past month was mainly devoted to the business side of art, I was not painting as much as I normally do and let me tell you, its not easy getting back into it. You loose momentum and it just does not feel good. I know the business side needs to be worked on but I will try my hardest not to let more then a few days go by without painting.

I just bought this little tea cup a few days ago and I was really excited about painting it. I hadn't intended on painting a finished piece only because I felt the need to warm up a bit, but as I was painting things started to fall into place and I watched as the painting came alive. I think it reads well and I was happy with it.
