A really sombre atmosphere with the chair and ornate table, set with teapot and cup,books and really restful to view! An excellent Still-life painting indeed!

Love this very natural image, with such well thought out objects on the table. You have captured the flow of light coming from the window so skilfully and the shadows on the floor are spot on. This is a painting to be very proud of Ian. I love it.

Superb work

I guess the single cup and chair are deliberate ? It definitely gives a deeper meaning to an already engaging great painting

Looks great! Love the reduced palette of colours, it's very effective.

I love the way light spills from the outside and illuminates the setting. Also not just an interior but a still life as well. Oils on 12x12 inch gesso board
