When these paintings are eventually able to be displayed in a library setting, books on the subject of still-life painting (particularly 17th century still-life) will hopefully be displayed near to the paintings for the benefit of the viewer. For now though, I have listed a selection of books that have provided inspiration for me in my practice.
