My oil painting, "Constable Cookie Tin" depicts a cookie tin with a print on it's lid, of the landscape painting, "Salisbury Cathedral and Leaderhall from the River Avon" by the English 19th century painter, John Constable. When my husband and I moved into our 19th century Victorian home, we found this cookie tin stored in the attic. Being a great admirer of John Constable's paintings, I just had to some how pay homage to this legendary painter utilizing this antique cookie tin. So I decided to include this sweet cookie tin in a still-life painting.
