Such a lovely still life, Kenny.

You have some real treasures there.

genau so muss es sein!

Indeed! Elegant composition.

une belle pause sereine avec des livres anciens et le plaisir de les caresser

A beautiful still life! I think I prefer the wine to Tennyson, I'd rather have Coleridge or Shakespeare or.... ;-)

I agree. Tennyson is a little stuffy.

I love this, Kenny; a most beautiful still life you created! Books are among the best subjects to use for such a composition. Well done, my friend!

Treasures on your table ! And a fine composition ! Great for the topic !

Good still life and the sun has gone over the yard arm so the drink will be nice!

"The wine is" ... best!!!

Wonderful book still life.
