"Four years ago I purchased this dazzling piece of English cloth at an antique shop and wanted
to incorporate it into a still life. This past summer I was able to do that. Picking some lilies
from a neighbor's flower garden and incorporating a brass vase, small ceramic jug, the
cloth and chocolate chip cookies on a piece of wax paper gave me just what I wanted.
I also tried for the first time an all black background to make all the objects really stand out.
The details of the cloth took over twenty hours to paint and I used some extremely small brushes to get those details.
Due to a number of commissions in 2009 this is the first feature painting listed in a long time. Hopefully more will be coming and more quickly."
