The next still life was a scrape-out. It didn't pan out.

The setup:

 
 

 

My idea was to have the red light on the creamer be the focus, and to
play off that with the red cloth.

 
 

 

 
 

 

 
 

 

 
 

 

 
 

At the above stage I'm liking it.

 

 
 

 

 
 

As I start resolving the creamer, the whole thing seems less
interesting. Not working for me. I swap out the creamer for different
object to see if I can save this:

 

 
 

 

After getting a sketchy sense for the new object, I make my decision. In
