New work: Candlestick and lime

I've just completed this new still life oil painting. Again this is oil on prepared plywood board. A glazing technique was used for the lime i.e. green transparent paints were applied over a yellow/white opaque underpainting. I used Winsor and Newton Liquin Light Gel in the underpainting and in the glazing medium, where it was mixed with Venice Turpentine.
