In 2004, I copied several still lifes from the 17th century and produced them in my studio.
This canvas is the very first personal composition that I made with the Citrus Press inherited from my maternal grandparents.
After 19 sessions, I submitted it to the teacher for criticism who suggested that I not leave the back wall plain. Xavier went to his garden to get some ivy and I dressed the wall in ivy leaves.
This is the last painting to pass by SERS, Xavier inspiring me after 4 years of learning to stand on my own feet.
