The reflections were rather fun, although at first I wasn't so sure I wanted to see a 21st century camera in a collection of 19th and early 20th century spoons. Nevertheless, I just painted what I saw.... Thank you for your lovely comments!

The detail in the spoons are also just marvelous.PAT MEYER --https://www.blogger.com/profile/01711437301093145074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513405656082686321.post-41347025370495875352009-03-03T14:00:00.000-05:002009-03-03T14:00:00.000-05:00Thank you so much, LC.

I sometimes like a more monochromatic palette, and this composition came quite by accident as I had laid a handful of spoons on my pine table just as the sun was low. It caught my attention and several paintings were borne! This is a cropped version of a slightly larger 5x7 inch painting showing the exquisite silversmithing workmanship in the handles. As for tea...I would love to savor a hot cup with scones, raspberry preserves and clotted cream just about now!!! Thanks for your kind comments!

I'm particularly grateful for your comments regarding my selection of traditional subjects yet with a more contemporized presentation. I'm so drawn to contemporary realism particularly in still lifes, yet as much as I strive to achieve that, I have a firm footing in all that is old and has a history...so I am forever caught inbetween...and perhaps as you say, it's become a style all my own...? Thank you again Carol, for your beautiful comments. I reciprocate same for your exquisite work and will visit your site again!
