This is the first of 3 cups I'm doing for a commission. I've painted this one before and posted it as one of my first paintings on the blog. I also posted a blue one I'll be painting again. The last of the 3 will be a yellow one.

It's good to be able to look back at the other 2 and see progress. I fell back to a tighter style here, but the actual shape and values are, I feel, an improvement to the first tries. I'm especially pleased with the metallic areas.
