I came across this beautiful crystal trumpet vase on- line and it arrived the other day Excited to try out some new paintings with this new "prop" . A different shape than many of my other containers that I often use for my still life paintings and I knew the crystal would be a challenge to keep simple.

I took several photo's with different lighting. Tried this one first that had lighting from a nearby window above. Also have another set up by the windows that has more light on the vase. I hope to start shortly as another very different view and will share it when it's done.

Below are some of the steps along the way.
