Hear me out: Book train.

My replica of Van Der Ast's Zomerschoon tulip painting (1625). The wonderful original painting is at the @mauritshuis_museum. Painted using the pigments he would have used, and @kingswoodframes produced a spectacular replica of the Mauritshuis frame using their replica of a 17thC ripple machine. 1/3

Quickly documenting my fruit from the garden before a variety of people and animals eat them: my Jonkheer red currants. Can't wait to put them in a painting: the most beautiful translucent red.
