Antique coffee grinder and fruit



I finally got around painting one of my treasured antique coffee grinders. I am a huge fan of coffee (addict) and am interested everything related to it. I have two of these old coffee grinders both of which look very interesting. Both of them found in a small antique shop in down town Reykjavík called Fríða Frænka, meaning Aunt Fríða (a name also meaning pretty).
In this particular painting I was focusing on the color and drawing, trying to keep my brushwork loose, especially in the color and value transitions in the orange and lemon. I wanted to see see those changes in values as the light bends around the form.
