Arty-choke

This gorgeous white table cloth was a gift from my mother in law, I've never used it on the table but its the star of my recent still-lifes!  The lemons are from our wonderful tree which thrives on sheer neglect, and the artichoke, well lets say cooking them isn't yet part of my culinary expertise.  That annoying little patch of shiny paint in the background I fixed it by putting a wash of a deep neutral green diluted with turps (which makes the paint matt) over the whole background.
