This is probably my favorite brass bucket. I’ve painted it so many times and yet each time it takes on a whole new personality and becomes a new experience.

The rich red soft velvet paired with the hammered texture of the brass and the delicate little blue and white teacup and vivid lemons all came together in perfect harmony. These arrangements are always inspired by my love of the Old Dutch Masters.
