Big Red Cup

I bought this cup quite a few months ago, but had a lot of difficulty using it in a composition.  It is so big and red that it always dominated the picture and I could never produce a happy composition.  After buying Carol Marine's Artbytes on composition and proportions I learned so much : I cropped the cup and the composition fell into place.  So thank you Carol.  I might add that I am one of the very fortunate people attending Carol's workshop in Toronto later this month and I am so looking forward to it.
