Sugarbowl and Crabapple Blossoms      o/cb  11x8.5

So... my last post was about intense glow, using color to create the drama.  Today's post is really just the opposite..I wanted to create a sense of quiet, peacefulness.  The soft pastel colors and delicate handling of the sugarbowl and flowers is meant to bring the viewer to a more contemplative mood.  The sugarbowl has an antique charm about it.  Our world seems to have lost so much of it's appreciation for "delicacy".  Now-a-days we want bold, powerful, colorful glitz and glamour.  Sometimes it's just nice to appreciate something that is quietly beautiful.
