tea cup on the table


               It does not seem that I am done doing drawings that include this table.  This tea cup provided a good point of interest for a wide bare strong grained table end.  Here we had a good opportunity to use the pencil shading to some advantage (I hope!) in expressing the tone and the texture of the table top. Black marker ink on the other hand makes a good foil for the subject and expresses the void behind the corner well.  At least that's my take on it....
               This table is one Dad bought used and refinished many years ago...
                Not sure if the cup came from Grandma Ruth or Grammie Harvey.
               The chairs are needing a lot of work, but the table is still beautiful.
