A Larger Still Life

Antique Kitchen Utensil, 14" x 18", oil on stretched canvas

Back on to a larger surface in this work.  Working with only one object on a larger canvas poses the challenge of how to keep the whole space interesting and active.  I used a very limited palette here, mostly of Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Umber and Titanium White, with a bit of Alizarin Crimson, Cobalt Blue and Raw Sienna.  The beater is quite neat.  You press down on it and the whole thing compresses, causing the wire whisk to turn.  Very clever!
