The Knife and Fork


This Set was painted with canvases of the same size : 146*92cm, and were painted in 2002. They have been liked by a lot of people but still have not been bought as together they are rather expensive. They will be good in restaurant I think. They are copies of a cake and knife set that belonged to my grandmother.

Fashion

I think many people are overly concerned with fashion, but there are a few that really look good in hats. So this painting was a mixture of the gold and silver as well as the pop art look.
