Antique Cordial - Demo Piece

I painted this still life as demonstration to promote my workshop at the Boca Grande Art Alliance,  Feb 20-22, 2012.  Actual time spent painting was about an hour.  My intent was to be bold.  The cordial glass is further developed than the other objects.  The unfinished state adds to the expressiveness of the piece.  It is my non-traditional interpretation of chiroscuro painting!  For more info on the workshop click the link on the right side of this page.
