Another semi-abstract painting based on some glasses and vases. It is in acrylic on a 16" x18" canvas. It is a bit of an experiment. I painted the background using a squeegee and paint straight from the tube. I then added the shapes again using paint directly from the tubes and moving it around with a selection of painting knives.

I am quite pleased with the results, and would be pleased to read your comments. It was done partly to use up my stock of acrylic paints and to use a damaged canvas which I had patched, so in fact the left hand shape is a sort of collage.
