“The horse chestnuts or "conkers" as they are known in England, were gleefully collected by Louis as I knocked them out of the tree with a chair (we were sitting outdoors in a rather empty restaurant)”

A delightful composition. Really love the colours.
I love the cup and chestnuts; however, you've done much better apples.
What can I say but I think this is stunning, Julian. I love it!
I love that apple!
Nice, rich colors all around.
Dear Julian, not only are you a meister painter, creating this lovely, warming little autumn piece, you are also a dauntless Dad, knocking chestnuts out of a tree with a chair while visiting a restaurant! Children keeps us young!
Anna.
The horse chestnut with the triangular blue design above is like a gift-wrapped parcel... a "marron glacé" in it?
Well, I hope you found a couple of champion conkers, soaked them in vinegar, put them on a length of string and together played the age old game of conker fighting:) Another lovely still-life!
