I'm still in the process of refining my still life paintings. This work was largely an uphill battle and nearly became house warming firewood twice. However, I persevered and now I actually quite love this painting. Initially I cut 15cm from the bottom of the canvas because the bottom didn't help the composition. Then I had to paint out a waiter's cloth. Then the original truffle butter that the scallops were placed in disappeared on the shell and so I went for a herbaceous dressing instead.

Once these obstacles were out of the way I really enjoyed the process.

This painting will come with several of the very small brushes I paint with as a conversation starter/talking point.
