Still Life Open Invitational

[lindyannajones]

This is an open call to forum members to try their hand at Still Life photography.

I’ll start with this entry, inspired this year by Still Life paintings from exhibit at the Phoenix Art Museum entitled Master Pieces Replayed: Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art.

Proposing a Toast



Rich Abundance: A variation




Still life is “a work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, flowers, plants, rocks, or shells) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, and so on) in an artificial setting. With origins in ancient times and most popular in Western art since the 17th century, still life paintings give the artist more leeway in the arrangement of design elements within a composition than do paintings of other types of subjects”.

Very nice shots! I used to oil paint still life a while back. Would love to paint these too. Thanks for sharing.

Great. NH. This is a great way to "paint" a still life. Love to have you ply your skills here.

That is nice. Oh, I might have to try this. So we need to get the items and arrange em and then capture em. Seems like it takes a lot of different skills to do it. Neat idea.

joswigf,

Totally different style, and still a fine example of what lighting can do. Bravo.
