Finished this Still Life a couple of months ago. Brought it out from my studio to hang on my sitting room wall. Always a good test.

This one never made it into my 2020 Show @highgategallery , but hopefully will hang in my forthcoming 2026 Show. I’ve returned to it a couple of times since and then finally made some more dramatic changes last week. Coming into the studio today I was pleased with what I saw. Will see how it fares over time.
