Glass Roemers or Rummers were popular drinking vessels in the Netherlands and feature heavily in Dutch paintings of the 17th century. I finally came across one online for practically nothing and couldn’t believe my luck in finding it. The simple arrangement of the shells and book are given a supporting role in the picture, the star being the beautifully crafted hand blown glass. Though a rather small size, the painting was quite a challenging exercise, especially when deciding how much or how little detail to include. When painting an object with so many reflections it is easy to forget that less is sometimes more, a lesson I am becoming more aware of as I continue to paint.
