Watercolor - Still Life with Teapot and Fruit

"Still Life with Teapot and Fruit" (11"X14", Watercolor, $100)

The colors in this watercolor are quite pleasing, I think. The red of the fabric sets off the blue and green, while complementing and warming the yellow. The compositional elements are interesting for me as well. The fact that the action takes place in the right of the picture adds an off-kilter note of interest while the main focal point, the teapot, reflects the other elements in its bottom half. The overhead light is reflected in the teapot as well in this classroom piece, making it look a little like a baby elephant. I didn't really intend that. It's just a bonus.
