The photograph of this painting did not really turn out well. I tried shooting it a number of times using a grey card and I still ended up with a high tone photo, so that the value nuances are not really evident. I learned a lot painting Satsuma, because I layered not only patterns, but also white porcelain in front of each other. So the painting became all about values in order to create the form of each object and to have them stand apart from each other in space instead of blending.
And well deserved! Congratulations! It's a wonderful painting! I really admire the pattern on the china, but also the overall composition and skill that never falters throughout the piece. It's an incredibly strong work of art!
