Thanks. It's a bit big for my kitchen. But then I have a small, dingy kitchen.

+1, those colors are mesmerizing. Really like it.

Thanks. The colours were a happy accident.

I set up the stuff to photograph (I always work from photos), and there was too much sunlight. It just bleached everything out - for example, that fabric is actually dark blue, and the bowl is violet.

I took a few snaps before I realised the problem. Then I closed the curtains to control the light, and took some more snaps with things looking "right." But I found I just preferred the ones where the light was "wrong" so that's what I painted.

As someone once said, art is knowing what mistakes to keep . . .

I keep being told that the best artists are only famous after they're dead.

So I'm looking forward to that.

I think.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of wall space, but that painting would still look good in my kitchen.....if it would fit

My dad said the same thing about fatherhood

Well, it's for sale, at a totally unreasonable price.

Well I hope you remain under the art worlds radar for many years

The folds in the tablecloth are what I like-so realistic. I don’t know how you do that.

****. Nice! I’d buy a print. Showed my wife. She wants to know “how much”?

Well done sir. As usual.
I always look forward to your painting posts.
Your music posts are a bonus!
Thanks hemingway!

@hemingway, I wish you'd paint something bad once in awhile! All this excellence is getting a bit boring. Nice painting!

You mean like $5.00 USD? I think that’s pretty unreasonable

Yeah, I kind of hope so too

I do it really badly then hope people don't look too closely
