Looking pretty good in the last pic here.<br /><br />My 2c on "still life": I think it refers to the contrast with "life drawing," or "figurative," the other major thing you can do directly in a studio. Those subjects can move; the still life just...stays still. But I don't know. Sounds like a good topic for a bit of research.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-29715048493417665612010-05-07T07:45:48.511-06:002010-05-07T07:45:48.511-06:00Beautiful painting!

I know you have to polish it up but I like the look of the first photo because it looks like a watercolor. :) KBoostershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851759819395457955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-77589962379043030632010-05-02T08:50:54.704-06:002010-05-02T08:50:54.704-06:00Well, isn't it "still life" because ...Well, isn't it "still life" because like in those dead rabbit paintings we see in museums...nothing physically moves...but the objects are about life. That's a wild guess. I love this painting and oddly enough I enjoy that bold chunk of white in the plate. it is an interesting design element. It's probably gone now..but I liked it...along with everything else in the painting. Beautifully done!Celeste Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791708298070342301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-27642607003502644252010-05-02T08:48:02.523-06:002010-05-02T08:48:02.523-06:00If you poke it and it doesn't move, it's a...If you poke it and it doesn't move, it's a still life.

The branch coming down on a diagonal gives the composition some movement and leads the eye into the main subject area and links it to the orange-which, in turn, connects and contrasts with the complimentary blue in the plate. Nice. Very nice.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621530803562406216noreply@blogger.com
