French Quarter Hitching Post

As in most of my most paintings in realism , objects Grab and Beg me to paint them. It all starts when  a unique composition of an object framed into my line of of sight  will first grab and hold my attention, and  asethitcally showcase it's negative space, shadows, reflected light, and highlights.
Does  this happen to you too?

A prime example of this is this New Orleans French Quarter hitching post. pressed here. Yet another of many of  in- progress paintings.
In this update I just stained -in a few touches to lightest areas.

In progress.
Today's pass to address my impatience to get the glass of dispenser washed down from lime to  closer to the  actual color mix of white gray green and ...even hint of pink ...tones of the #Cafedumonde sugar dispenser next to napkin holder. The multiple colors are from reflections and background backlit  sunlight illuminations.
