Still life painting with many objects: an owl, a photo, a plate with a house—a gift, a book, a shell, a rose in a bud vase, a plate with a bird of paradise, an apple on another plate, a swan vase, a pear, an apple, a small ceramic bust, a faerie, perhaps, a cat, some dahlias and lot of colourful patterns!
