A bit hard to tell but this is a plastic water bottle resting on my knee. We were driving around on the weekend, on our way to a wedding, and the sun was so very bright and making these spectacular reflections through my water bottle. I used a photo for this one–another one of those captured moments when I didn’t have the time or materials to do the painting right then. This would have been pretty tricky to paint from life anyway since the bottle was resting on my knee…

I love your paintings of transparent bottles and glasses with water and the reflections and shadows.
Maybe you could to a post sometime on how to do that? It’s the simplifying, or selecting that I find so difficult.
Thank you very much! That’s a good idea. I like doing in progress photos of paintings but I checked and I’ve not done any in progress shots of the glass or reflection ones. I’ll have to do that :)
