I think it was the patterns (the curved lines) that attracted me here.

I liked the contrast between the lighter and darker bands and the way the bands get smaller towards the bottom. I also liked the textures of the lighter bands.

This is actually another view of the object in the preceding post: Bathroom pictures 4: Folds. However, where that picure was soft and ill-defined this one is sharper, with more hard edges and well defined shapes.

I’m not entirely sure what I liked about this one. Maybe it’s the dark and lighter shady and the somewhat shiny texture. And the fact that its rather soft and flowing.
Glass marbles
A neighbor gave us some irises from his garden as a welcome back gift for my wife. They came in a glass vase (which we’ll return to him) full of colored glass beads. Seeing them on the table I thought the shapes, patterns, colors and the smooth textures were appealing and decided to make this picture. To enhance the overall effect I took a flashlight and placed it behind the vase shining through the vase towards the camera.
