I'm drawn to Mark Rothko color field paintings. For this shot I used a square glass vase in which I put a bottle of mouthwash(blue/green) and a small orange spray bottle. I placed a violet-colored piece of acrylic in front of half the vase. In post I used a slight color vignette and drop-shadow frame.

 

From MOMA - Mark Rothko sought to make paintings that would bring people to tears. “I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions—tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on,” he declared. “And the fact that a lot of people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I can communicate those basic human emotions….If you…are moved only by their color relationships, then you miss the point.”
