You obviously have a very inventive mind as this is a very unusual grouping of objects - I would never have thought to use a scuttle or a wax candle! However, it makes a very good talking point and I suspect that was your intention. Like the touch of humour in the composition. I do like your excellent shine on the scuttle.

Thanks for your comments Thea!

On a recent trip to see my brother where he lives in Navarrenx, a basque area of south-west France, I perused a wealth of bric-a-brac that sits on the mantel piece on top of his giant fireplace. I chose a grouping of this wooden Indian scuttle, porcelain dog and wax cactus candle to sketch. It’s actually painted in the main with white gouache on Raven Black paper, with sanguine and white Conté details plus charcoal pencil.
