Another terrific and very original still life, Keith.
Setting the mints on a white background was a stroke of genius,
Have a good week, my friend.

Mine have to be sugar-free these days,

Keith Burton club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Glad you like it Roger.............I actually tried several different backgrounds, but the white worked the best.

I'm a Type2 diabetic, so I should eat the sugar-free ones as well, but they contain sugar substitutes which usually have a laxative effect...........so I'll stick to these one for the time being. Much safer :-)))
