EDITORS COMMENTS
by John F. Francis is a captivating oil painting that showcases the artistry and indulgence of a sumptuous dessert spread. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings this still life composition to life, capturing the viewer's imagination. In this delightful scene, we are transported back in time to an elegant dining room adorned with a pristine white tablecloth. A variety of delectable treats grace the table - from luscious strawberries and berries bursting with color, to a mouthwatering cake tempting us with its sweet aroma. The silverware glistens under the soft glow of light, reflecting the opulence of the occasion. A delicate porcelain bowl filled with creamy pudding sits alongside a jug and spoon, inviting us to savor each decadent bite.
