Looking at the still life objects from a different side of the table produces a different vibe. I want to do more such drawings so I can make a better decision about how to set the table in the painting.
Blogging about the still life table helps me immensely too. As I try to explain the visual questions in writing, drawing and through photography, I find that I get additional ideas.

I like your use of bright colors! I also enjoy the challenge of arranging still-life and finding out how colors work. Keep it up!
thank you, Vanessa, for your kind and encouraging words!
