Thanks, Katy! It took me quite a while to decide what to do with this one and I’m not entirely happy with it, but the challenges do encourage you to try something completely different.

Jenny it’s just what we need to brighten up our day! Very clever, I love the vase and the blue and orange plate ? in the background. I’m planning a still life for my next one....may be tomorrow.
