I like the tiny surface irregularities of the fevered outline bathing in light as the jagged outlines of the Sun when seen in close-up.Solar still-life.

Quince jelly is well worth making. It is sharp and goes well with cheese, and also roast pork!
I wish I had a tree in my garden or a few overhanging branches from next door!

Painter’s notes

Most of the quinces on the neighbour's tree are still green and fluffy—this one is just about ripe. Many people have asked about quinces—what to do with them etc. and I generally send them to this Martha Stewart page.
