tomato quarter on cup
8''x8'', oil on gessoboard
Got a bit of a theme going here. May as well get it out of my system.
Teacup again
oil on gessoboard 8''x8'', SOLD
So these technical gliches are driving me steadily crazy. I’m just a self-confessed IT Neanderthal and things have got to change. I’m posting this picture to see how it looks because apparently………..I have pixel problems. No kidding!
Anyway, it’s two for one today as I’d already posted the Tete-a-tete.
Cornishware and cherries
Át the risk of sounding like all I do is party………………..had some girls round for supper last week to plan a birthday – great fun! One of them brought these lovely cherries which didn’t get eaten up as they were accompanied by a Walnut Torte, much the favourite and a closely guarded recipe of her great aunt in Bavaria. I may have to resort to torture.

Lemons and jug
oil on gessoed board 8''x8'' - SOLD
On a bit of a theme again. I found a jug with the same blue band similar to the gravy boat at an antiques market a few weeks ago so decided to try this shape out.

My favourite all time comfort food, a reserve for really blue days only, is toast, marmite and……………marmalade on top. You should try it. I personally think this is where the concept for sweet and sour started. Another is cheese on toast with marmalade on top – a pleasure that my older brother introduced me to when we were teenagers with hollow legs – but you need to be virtually suicidal to justify that many calories over the age of……

let’s say thirty five.
Teacup 2
oil on gessoed board 8X8 - SOLD
Thought I would keep to the teacup theme. I love painting the colour white and Titanium White is such a slurpy, squidgy consistency………….mmmmm.
Need to get a life!
Cup stack
Time for a change from flowers I think. This one is of my favourite china – cornishware – of which there is an unseemly plethora in my cupboards. It may not be very PC to say so, but it’s just so British! My mother had some storage jars of this ilk and I was fascinated by them……………not least because it was where she hid the biscuits on a high shelf!
