Peaches & Japanese Knife

Pulled out a painting I started last fall, before I got sidetracked by the portrait idea. It's a variation on my ongoing love affair with knives and tomatoes -  peaches on a silver tray. Messed around on the surface of the fruit and the knife, then worked on the under color of the silver tray. The trees outside the window reflected in the rim. Actually looking forward to doing the engraving lines, mostly swirling. I'll probably end up as enamored with the tray as I am with the fruit.
