This picture has really struck a chord with me. I think you have found that stillness, but with tension and balance, that you so admire in Vermeer and Weischer. It is without doubt this particular quietness that gives the picture and unsettling melancholy.

The space and the colour in this work are also excellent. I thinkn this is your best work yet. If we do a swap in the near future I ‘want that one’.

Personally I think you have found an avenue which really opens up a particular voice for you. Your complex perosnal narratives and figures are good, but these still lives have a real power.
