Haddon Hall, the Dining Room

This painting has been sold


Oil on hardboard 8" x 8"

I think the fruits are oranges, lemons and limes. I just liked the colours against the pewter plate and wasn't too worried about a realistic representation.

    Love that subtle but electric blue of the platter, and that diffused light.

    Love this series of interiors from Haddon Hall. What a wonderful place it is; no wonder you found so much inspiration.

    Thanks Triecia, yes it is an inspiring place, kind of timeless but liveable, not like the big stately homes.

    Magnificent. You are the queen of interiors, Sheila. This has such a nice composition, and you manage to find great colors when working with contra-jour.

    Thank you Dar. I was trying to achieve depth and the subtelty of the colours at the same time.
