Light and life

Dermot this is beautiful, the cherries are brilliantly painted and lovely colours. I bet the design on the teapot set was hard to paint, perfectly done.

Clean, crisp and beautifully painted Dermot, not my favourite subject but I do appreciate a still life when it's of this quality. I'm doing them myself at the moment and losing the battle!lol

The light on this is spectacular and I don't know how you managed that intricate pattern on the pots Dermot.

A very intricate piece beautifully painted, the cherries are lovely and I commend you on your choice of earthenware.

Truly, truly beautiful Dermot! The delicacy of the china is exceptional and the light fantastic.

Wow, Dermot this is a truly exceptional still life! So clear and precise and beautifully lit. As others have said, the pattern on the teapot and cups, is so well done, and the cherries, such translucency they actually look alive. Super painting!
