Interiors: Avon Valley Artists Group

Last week at AVA we were all asked to paint something which represented an interior. There were lots of different ideas including a portrait of someone sat in a corner, and lots of cushions on sofas as well as various still lifes. As usual, a selection can be seen on Peter's blog site.
I chosed to paint a still life on a table with a lace cloth.
I really enjoyed it, but it was Jan who suggested a very dark background in the upper part of the painting. There was some question asked about whether it was too dark, but I think it works for me. The near black is a great foil for the jug and lemon and cloth.

    This is very striking. It's the dark against the light that makes it exciting

    Thanks Polly. It is good to do something really striking as I seldom get this effect with the florals. Glad you like it.
