Still life with a painting

A painting with a still life setup. Day 9 - I found this one hard to do! The idea was to use a reproduction of a painting I like or admire or that inspires me, with a few items to make it part of a still life. Well, I really didn't feel up to copying a famous painting. So I decided to tackle (still watching the rugby IRE 3-7 ENG) one of my paintings instead, using some vases with a family history.

This one proved more than I could chew though. I had chosen a portrait I had painted recently, but I was putting myself under too much pressure, and I'm not too happy with the result.
So I picked an easier painting (one of my monoprints) and another family vase. And it all worked out much better.
