Bottle Studies Her Shadow

As the light filters through the thick glass of this bottle it casts a beautiful color on the ground and wall. The shadow seemed rather ordinary, because I smoothed out the fabric. I did like the way the top of the bottle in the shadow was tipped at a rather steep angle.

Unlike other paintings I've done, this one cried out to be painted in color. The light that shines through the bottle casts a gorgeous color on the table and wall. This will be one of the first paintings I do when I start using color.
