Cafe Dumonde Sugar dispenser /Napkin holder
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.

Frequently after coming back after a break from a long session, a fresh eye on the subject can be very revealing. I realised with this update I needed to spend more time on some reflections and highlights, to the bottle and glass rim. That's what got all my attention with this pass today.
I am becoming pleased with the on going developments following these last stages.
On the home stretch with updates just about daily applied to this 16 x 20 canvas commissioned piece.
