"Black & White Still-Life"

I drew this still life as an assignment for a Saturday art class I was taking at USC. I wanted to draw a still life that was very pleasing to the eye and that anyone from my church would feel comfortable hanging in their living room. Some of my previous work wasn't to their liking for one reason or other (mainly based on content), so I was basically trying to cater to that specific audience. It turned out incredibly well and has an elegant and almost fairy-tale like quality to it.
