I suggest you spend the next week learning how to cook. If you rework this as a final polished version you will lose the freshness, which, warts and all (which I am finding difficult to see) make it such an appealing picture.

You and Derek should have got together.....I'm sure the two of you could have rustled something up. A friend whose wife had gone away for four days just bought an extra box of cornflakes and more milk...now there's an idea for you Roger. The painting....shows no sign of your frustrations. It's very good indeed, the details as ever are amazing and I'm enjoying looking around the canvas, noticing things like the little rucks in the rug/Victorian tile, the musical notes( blimey!), the bit on the skirting board which you missed ( just joking). How different we all are on here, time taken, prep etc! You've got to be satisfied with this tho' haven't you?

Good and funny words thanks Marjorie. I can't see anything wrong with this. I wasn't looking for them either but like you those little details make this special

What a nightmare...a cornucopia of crass decision making, lousy brushwork and technique, endless fiddling and altering all reinforce my view that you don't have to be an amateur and work like one! Had I been paid a pound for every hour spent on it, I would by now, be living on Costa del Mugso and driving a Lamborghini. Artistic license...blue lace shawl is actually white. Bird motif doesn't exist as a rug but as one of our Victorian kitchen tiles. However, all the glitches are nothing compared to my present situation...Muse has decamped to London which means that I don't get to eat for a week! So am open to offers of a culinary nature before I change my name to Oliver...no meal too large, I don't do greens...bring yer own pinny! Oil on canvas 110cm x 60cm...2016
