Day Twenty Eight - Something Borrowed 1

As title suggests, my articles in my still life are borrowed!! All I own are the two daffodils! My friend Pauline has a massive amount of treasure (she calls junk) she told me I can borrow for my still life paintings!! I was so excited to go and choose my first basket of loot yesterday!!
She has a collection of eye wash glasses, so don't think I haven't painted the top of the little green glass correctly, I have, promise!! There is a decided scoop at the top of the glass to fit round your eye socket! Another in the collection will be in tomorrow's piece, I am all set up ready to go!
8" square oil on board £135 incl UK postage

Yellow is definately the hardest colour to mix! Most of my daffs aren't out yet (these are shop bought) so hopefully I can get going on a larger still life in Feb, I'm not going to let those yellows beat me. Practice makes perfect!

      Thank you Cindy, it was inspiring to use items I'm not familiar with!

    I think you have done an excellent job on the daffodils. I always find the shadow colours hard to find. A good still life all round.
