'Oranges and lemons said the bells of St. Clements.'

An orange and lemon tree? I couldn't decide wheter to do oranges or lemons, sooo... It came out really well I think, especially if you consider that the table top is only chipboard. There was also a nice moment of serendipity here; A lovely craquelure effect which arrived by accident due to using water based paints for the pictures and polyurethane varnish. The paintwork must have still been slightly damp. A rare occasion when hurry actually did something good!

Oranges and lemons on the same tree? Yes for sure, on a table. This came out amazingly well considering the table top is made from chipboard. I also got an amazing touch of serendipity here, using watercolour paints for the fruit and a polyurethane varnish I got some wonderful accidental craquelure! Next time I might even do it on purpose...
