Beneath a Stained Glass Window, Still Life
Beneath a Stained Glass Window
This watercolor is of an old but elegant silver coffee set on a silver tray. It is sitting on a narrow linen-covered serving cart "beneath a stained glass window." The rainbow of colors from the bright sun bathes the silver set in a riot of color, further enhancing this elegant and intricate scene. The viewer looks down at this inviting set as they approach to prepare for serving time. The background is a multi-colored mixture of hues to create a satiny deep black painted over the cool blue underpainting, allowing the silver with stained glass reflections to shine and pop from the black backdrop.
