    What's your favorite painting?

    I am not well-versed in the art world so I don't know what makes a piece technically good or worthy of praise but as Brian says on his podcast, I am the expert on my own opinion and I've always found this painting to be particularly captivating.

    New Samuel Gawith tins

    For reference, the 1792 tin that was hard to open had the divots right at the corner: While this tin of Cabbies from 5 years ago has the divots on the flat side.
