I've painted many white pitchers over the years, always attracted to how, when posed against the assertive patterns of landscape or fabric, they manage--with their simple, strong and quiet shapes--to hold their own.

Beautiful! You're right - this simple white pitcher does hold its own against the patterned bg so well. Perhaps because it's painted so well? Loved the one yesterday, too - definitely feminine because of the rounded, curving shapes...or maybe just the larger bottom? :)
So beautiful, as usual. I wonder how many colors make this pitcher look white :-)
You can really feel the warmth of the sun on this one! Beautiful.
Thanks, RH, Irini and Kathy. About the colors--It's a triad that mixes into a neutral blue, yellow and red (in this case a cool red.) The challenge is getting enough color to turn the form, but not so much that I've lost the white shape.
