I absolutely love this little espresso cup, and this painting! I used to have a set of four cups, but I'm now down to two unbroken ones. I like the shadow cast by the uneven edge of the cup, which I exaggerated. To get the shadow in sharp relief I set up the still life in sunlight in early morning when the shadows are long, and I got that great shadow above the cup as well as the shadow of the handle on the apple. I was having trouble with the coffee looking a little dull, until I added blue and it worked!
