We often forget the beauty in the daily items we use. Some of these take up residency through reliability-in-use or functional practicality. The longevity of the items is what makes them beautiful in their aged glory in silent servitude. Next time you're in the kitchen, look at the items that have served you well over the years and decades and appreciate their existence.
 
"I always find it challenging to paint still life in limited colours and in different techniques. Here I used old painting techniques; Verdigris and colours like red, gold, black and white. I have developed this old antique effect by layering shellac several times on acrylic shades and sanding them before each layering. I am happy to see the end result." Smita Upadhye, lifelong artist.
