Morning Shadows

Every year in January the sun comes in my kitchen window and makes interesting shadows. It doesn't happen any other months since the sun angle changes and trees get in the way. Every year I try to do a picture using the shadows in some interesting way if I can.  This painting is my take on this year's shadows. I used a tarnished silver pitcher that I have that originally belonged to one of my older relatives. It needs a good polishing, but I didn't mind all the colors and streaks.
This is finally dry so here is a scanned version of the painting.
Tarnished Pitcher, 12 x 16

I love this picture, tarnish only makes it better.
