Another 12"x12" painting with my homemade bread and peach jam. I bought these strawberries, and they're not at all like our Russian garden ones. In our "dacha" (garden) in Russia, we have strawberries too, very sweet and fragrant, but they were much smaller than these American ones. I was surprised with their size and perfect shape!

I hope you enjoy your Royal Tea.

I did a bigger painting - 12" x 12", on linen canvas. I made it bigger than the others, because on the small paintings, several of the objects couldn't fit into the canvas, and the milk jug was always left out. I planned for weeks to paint this milk jug, so I fitted it on this big painting. Another bigger jug which is partly on this painting will also wait for another turn to appear on one of  my next paintings. It has also starred in "Lemon Rhapsody". It took me almost 5 hours ( with little breaks) while my daughter was at school.
