The Tools of a Delicious Day

The elements of a wonderful day and the meditative zen of baking, illustrated in this still life with a multi-hued "painted" black background ( not black paper) allowing the delicious ingredients of flour for the crust and apples for the filling, and the materials of the woven basket and antique glass rolling pin, as well as the well-used and dented pan to shine as stars of the show. All of these things indicating this relaxing and delicious ritual is a part of their life that has happened and rewarded them many times before.
