This study brings to mind that old joke about hitting yourself on the head with a hammer. It feels great when you stop. This was supposed to be a warm up for another painting I have due next week. A simple still life, as it were. You know what that means from me. Some needlessly(?) complicated set up. Yipes Stripes!
Upon photographing this I can see how the values behind the glass of the vase are too light (the photo is not accurate in color no matter how many times I shot it) and the stripes are too static. I can only improve from here.

Great painting I like it
Hey, for what it's worth...I don't think the stripes are too static....just my opinion...
And a warm up is a warm up - you're all warmed up now, right? And I don't think the balues behind the glass of the vase are too light - they look just about right.
I was warmed up all right. In the 'what was I thinking' way ;)
Thanks everyone. It took courage to post this one.
oh no....I commented on the wrong picture...I like this painting too...but I meant to comment on the spider mums!!!! (about that hammer.....)
Actually Mary, I really like this. I think it has great design element to it.
I really like it too! I love its abstract qualities :) And the color relationships are really cool too.
