STILL LIFE WITH STRIPES

I decided to hunt for objects in charity shops that had a relationship with each other in terms of form, tone, colour and subject, rather than trying to cobble things together with the objects I have at home.
I'm also trying to apply some reserve and discipline when it comes to colour!
So I tried 2 secondary complementaries all mixed with cadmium red, cad yellow, and ultramarine, no other colours at all.

The object of all this was to paint a picture I would like to have on my wall at home, rather than have a self indulgent festival of colour.
