Still Life with Pots

Started a new painting.

A still life based on a photograph posted at about.com/painting.

Here is the post with the possible still life photos we had to choose from

So started with that composition.

 

 

This quickly turned into a rather nice composition with bright blue pots.

I did use two new pigments, Indian Red and turquoise. Two I was not that familiar with.

I was given the Indian Red, and used it for the first time on my Holly Hock painting. I bought the turquoise a while back but never used it.This seems the ideal painting to try that one out
