The subject is a silver cocktail shaker, a porcelain cup and saucer, a porcelain demitasse cup, and a lemon. The silver was a gift to me by a friend, the cup and saucer are from my wife's wedding china, the demitasse cup was from a set purchased before the coffee shop era when I made my own expresso. I really liked the smoothness and perfection of the china and the silver contrasted with the rougher, more abstract shape of the bright yellow lemon. I consider this to be a daily painting, however I did spend a bit more time on it to render the porcelain and the silver shaker. I hope that you enjoy the painting.
