Light Snack

As my practice came to embrace still life, this little oil lamp is one of the first props I picked up specifically to include in my work. It may well be a mere tourist trinket, but I find it a charming thing. The sweet chestnuts (Castanea sativa) are fresh from the tree and were collected on one of our regular walks around Derbyshire's Calke Abbey Estate, a short drive from where we live.

I'm an inveterate grower of trees from seed, so I was delighted that I managed to germinate two of these into seedlings.

Fingers crossed, I'll be able to keep them alive long enough for them to grow tall.

Here's a thought - wouldn't it be lovely to hand over a tiny potted sweet chestnut tree to the buyer of this painting?

Think of it as a special offer - Buy One, Get One Tree!
