Reflected Glass

Anyone For A Glass Of Wine?
I came up with the idea for this drawing when I was unloading the dishwasher and I put a glass on the shiny black hob, prior to putting it away. I noticed the reflection it produced and thought it might make a nice drawing.
To re-create the surface, I put a piece of black card under a sheet of glass and put black card around the glasses. I thought carefully about the composition to make it as interesting as possible.
I drew this on jet black paper using a white pastel pencil. It looks simple, but I must say I found the ellipses very challenging! Unfortunately the light is bouncing off of the black paper in the photograph so it doesn't look as black as it really is. It was very enjoyable to do.
***Note from Kerry:
Wow! Sandra! This is incredible! One of these days, I'll be buying your artwork! Thanks so much for sharing your drawings with us.
