Description

In this mixed media panoramic, Mitchell presents a still life of a single jug against a dramatically lit background. Heavy brushstrokes can be seen on the lighter side of the background, but they grow faint, as his use of paint gets heavier and darker to the right. Contrasting earth tones cause the viewer's eye to rest on the copper-colored jug, resting on a smooth white surface against the dark background. The jug is lit from its right side, which bring out the small dents and cracks on its shiny surface.
