Still Life with Apples and Tea


The tea still has to be poured, and a few other things need doing, like the designs on cup and saucer and some more detail on the apples and wood table top, yadda yadda. Oil on linen canvas. 20 inches by 16 inches. Price: one million dollars. Cheques, credit card, gold, whatever will do. I will accept the equivalence in old jewelry as well. Or if you can only acquire around, say, $10, 000 worth, say, from your mother's or grandmother's jewelry drawer, that's fine. Just stuff it into a manila envelope(s) and send it to my address. You may or may not receive the painting of course; it will be according as my whims and moods determine. If you do receive the painting, the painting you receive may or may not be the same one as pictured. Though it may be of apples and tea. Then again, the painting may be of a Tyrannosaurus Rex hysterically demanding ridiculous tax sums of a Brontosaurus for taking a dump while volcanoes in the background spew a century's worth of auto CO2 into the atmosphere. You never know.

If you can guarantee that there would still be apples and a cup of tea, I'll pay you 1,000,000 golden pumpkin scones. Over a period of the next, let's say, 60 years.

Gold-plated scones? Sure. Five of them should be good.

Really delightful. Can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks Tim. I'm getting myself back into the Zone and hopefully will have it finished this week.
