There wasn't really anything in the cup. I was going to add steam rising from it, but thought better of it. However, something is missing in this painting. What is it?

About Me
- Charles Pompilius
- Naples, FL, United States
- I am a painter based in Naples, Florida. My work has been shown in exhibitions throughout the United States including New York, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Scottsdale, and Birmingham, MI. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Central Michigan University and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa. In 1984 I attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture on scholarship. I have taught painting at the university level, and I am the recipient of a Pollack-Krasner Award and a Michigan Council for the Arts Creative Artist Grant. In 2011 I completed the official portrait of Michigan’s Governor Jennifer Granholm, which now hangs in the capitol rotunda in Lansing. In 2013 I painted Allan Gilmour, President Emeritus, Wayne State University. In 2016 I was commissioned to paint the official portrait of U.S. Congressman Fred Upton, now hanging in the Rayburn Building in Washington, D.C. I am currently developing a series of paintings based on a floral motif.
the tea cup handle in the mirror reflection?
ReplyDeleteNope. It's there if you look closely. But good try JT.
ReplyDeleteAh-Ha! The lace on her lap! Good one Charles :)
ReplyDeletenice.... great composition and feel....
ReplyDeleteGood eye Bill. I added the lace on her lap for visual interest, but couldn't figure out how it would look in reflection. So I just left it out!
ReplyDeleteHola, felicidades, es un cuadro realmente hermoso y magníficamente ejecutado.
ReplyDeleteSaludos
Maybe a spoon in the cup. Or, a small table with a plate of sconces, cookies, etc.?
ReplyDeleteI like it the way it is. What a beautiful young lady!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, Charles, I don't know how you keep these coming. Beautiful. On another note, is your shoulder much improved?
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I can't believe you can get such a finished feel of a larger painting in such a small format!
