This image does not seem to be working for me. And I am not sure why. Maybe because the mug top edge is parallel to the bottom of the column or there is just nothing of intetest. Maybe this is a study in white & blue?
 

Oh it is a mug. I had the scale all wrong. Surely it is the match of colour that makes this worth the image?
 

It took me an age to work out the scale too. At first I thought that the mug was a tile or something. The angles seem to be robbing it of some of its 3 dimensionality.

Its a fancy mug for a builder...
 

Plenty of blue to keep you happy in this one. I think I may have been oh so tempted to turn the cup a little more handle out so a full bow from the character adorning it would welcome you to the doors. I find myself wanting to see a little more of the left hand side though.
 

"Its a fancy mug for a builder..."

That only raises more questions. Why do builders get fancy mugs? Why do they leave them outside?
 

Plenty of food for thought in the comments - thanks.

This is partly a study in colour (according to a book on blue in painting that Jana got from the library, blue is the world's favourite colour). It is also about this part of London, which is one of the wealthier ones - Mick Jagger lives around about St Johns Wood (or did).

The mug is provided by the house for the builders. Because I know it is a mug, I can not gainsay what Colin says. I tried it on a painter by asking: what do you see? Answer: a mug and a door without hesitation. Why is the mug outside? Probably because this was one of the few sunny days last summer and the builder(s) drank their tea outside - purely hypothesis.

In hindsight, I think I agree with Akikana that a bit more to the left might help, although I was after pillar as much as door, so I'm still thinking about that.

Doug's "nothing of interest" leaves me wondering. I like it for its summery feel and the touch of the penguin.
