Another great composition where still-life and figures take equal place. I like the way the foreground figure's legs are just suggested so the eye really moves across the still-life to the figure of Nan (which, after reading your comments again, I find was your intention - so excellent work!)

I also really like the variation of light from darker to lighter throughout the painting, and your brush strokes and drawing are very good. You have. a lovely light touch, but you get very good substance and solidity with it. And I like the extra details of, for example, the map on the wall with it's bent corner and its shadows - you are a great painter of paper!!

Lovely work, Alex!
