oil painting still life with yellow cup and blue hydrangea

"A Cup of Blue Hydrangea"  6 x 6 oil on canvas panel

I love painting these cups! They look so pretty on the black background. Black...thoughts about black. I don't use black in my palette. I am not a "no black paint" snob either. I just prefer to mix my own. Nothing ever really looks black, to me anyway. Not even black paint!
