The main design idea of this painting is right in the title. Certain shapes pull my attention. Lately I have been attracted to the type of crescent shapes often seen in rounded form shadows and lights. It is a fun repetitive pattern in both hard clay pots and organic onions. But in the glare light of this window the surface of the windowsill is transformed into a watery mirror. Now the crescents are flipped and on the next level of repetition. Combined with their origins they start to dance and make delightful arabesques!

An alla prima work from the Oil Painters of America National Convention Wet Paint Competition. Won 3rd place in the Indoor Category.
