“Here Nicholson employs an almost square format, which is unusual for him, and the rich, dark background of his pre-war still lifes makes a return. The scarlet, purple, pink and white anemones in a simple white mug with painted decoration are standing on a thin white cloth, partially covering a plain wooden table. Silver and ivory cutlery, familiar from other still lifes, catches the light – as does the moulded base of the mug. (This creates a line of reflections roughly parallel with the edge of the tablecloth.) In the foreground left, the corner of a green plate (a majolica leaf plate – probably Minton) anchors a composition in which the tilted picture plane has replaced the shallow picture space previously found in Nicholson’s still lifes. This was to become a distinctive feature of his work in the 1920s.”

At Sunnyside - Where Truth and Beauty Meet 
Beautiful, Sunnyside. Four of our five children studied piano for many years. I do miss hearing all that piano practice, especially for their recitals. Now, they play in their own homes for their families! Oh the joy of that!
