Still Life (10)

When making this piece I tried to stick with the theme of breakfast foods. I think with every oil painting I've done, the backgrounds keep looking better and better. With out using any lines in the background at all, you can still tell that the items are sitting on a table and not floating around. I just used darker and lighter values in certain areas. I really like how the muffin turned out as well as the coffee and mug. If you look at the piece in person, you can see all the texture in the muffin and the shine in the coffee. For most of my oil paintings I have made up my own placement, but used photo references of the object from online. I think they always turn out nicely.
