I've always been fascinated by realistic still-life paintings. Having spent a lot of my childhood around galleries and artists, I've had the chance to study some of the best UK still-life artworks in the flesh. I've also been privileged to meet some of the artists themselves. These experiences have inspired me to paint my own version. I really enjoyed the process and the flow of the painting was smooth from start to finish. It's not technically difficult but in order to achieve the most photographic result you need to take your time and not rush those details!
