This painting was done exclusively with the primary colors — in other words, I used plain red, plain yellow and plain blue. All the colors were mixed with them alone. The glass, apple and metal pieces were done by looking at the objects and finding the shapes I saw in them. After that, I painted those shapes in the colors they actually were.

I love your still life paintings. They always amaze me.
I see a boldness in this painting that reminds me of 50s-era 3-strip Technicolor, like in the MGM musicals. It pops.
So beautiful! Love the reflections!!
Nice how still the handle is next to the dancing colors and shapes.
