A delightful nostalgic painting, wonderful detail, love the kettle on the trivet. Brought back memories of my childhood. Mother had a Victorian fire range similar to this in our the kitchen, happy days.

Excellent work Bobby , my grandparents had a cooking range like that , and a oven that baked the best balm cake ever , thanks for prodding the memory.
