It's a nice study you did here, Baldgate. I fell the composition is a little strange, and perhaps that is for the reason you already gave (being so close to the object). It seems to distort the view a little big. I would prefer to see the handle of the mug either a little more back and to the left or back and to the right. I feel it is a little too close to the viewer and for some reason this is a little less pleasing to my eye. That might be only a personal opinion, but I wanted to mention it to give you at least one viewer's opinion.
I like the painterly look you achieved with this still life. I never tried my hand at a still life before, except for one time many years ago in a color theory class I took at a local university. I would really like to try my hand at it.
