This was a personal experiment to find the beauty and interest in a commonplace object: a lowly salt shaker. I feel beauty is everywhere if you look closely. Here are some details I found interesting and decided to capture just as they were.

The top of this old shaker was bent from being dropped, and I decided to paint it that way. The thick glass created interesting and uneven distortions and color changes. Light was reflected from the left side onto the tabletop, creating a bright glare. Salt had spilled onto the table to the right of the salt shaker, and I decided to keep that in the painting too.

I feel these little details give it uniqueness and make this humble subject worthy of being seen as a work of art and preserved in oil paint. Let me know what you think. (A very kind viewer just emailed some interesting comments, which I have placed in the "comments" section below. Have a look.)
