# 2272 Painted from life without any modern tricks and help. WE so often overlook simple subjects of our everyday life. The chestnuts, a fruit/nut that only grows in the cooler places of this planet, were an integral part of the winter feasts in days gone by. I still buy them when they come in the fruit shop and roast them over a cosy fire when the temperature has dropped. Although I have never had the pleasure to see a painting by Jean Baptiste Gardin with chestnuts, I am sure he would have loved painting them.
