I was mightily impressed with how well this photograph turned out. I was doing the dishes and snapped this picture of the fruit bowl on my window sill. I think it has a real "old masters" feel to it. There are some suds on the bowl.
I've just had avocado for lunch and I'm not on a desert island (well, I suppose I am, but it's a pretty big island!) I think your shot is superb! I love still-life paintings and this captures the spirit.
Lovely photo, great colour - The blossom (Is that Chinese Lantern?) is a fine, delicate touch. Oh, and hang onto that pudding basin. They're hard to find now, and when you do find them, they cost a fortune.
It looks wonderful. Definitely an old masters' feel to it. I think it's all about the bowl...do you? And the black backdrop. Well, and the fruit, too. Good job.
In answer to a question, no, A River Runs Through It wasn't filmed in my town but in one near by that has more of an old feel to it.

Hazel, I can't find an email address for you so I'll ask here. Can I please 'borrow' your still life shot - I am really serious about trying. Promise I won't spread it around! Email me please. LBx
It's surprising how few still life photos of fruit bowls I see. Seems everybody wants to keep that genre in the paint realm!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, as you demonstrate here, it is a potential goldmine of artistic validity! I like this a lot!
can't say it better than dogimo...looks picture perfect and i'm especially digging the avocado!
ReplyDeletevery nicely put together...avacado sustains life for long periods of time if ever deserted on an island...
ReplyDeleteA Still Life with a touch of Giorgio Morandi there!

ReplyDeleteWOW! It's like a real painting! Also impressed with a variety of fruits so nicely arranged! And I like the beautiful color of the bowl too.
ReplyDeleteNice light on your window sill. Love the suds.
ReplyDeleteWhat bliss.
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for still lives.I think it's the strong cast shadow that adds to the old master feel.
It is splendid.
This really is perfection! I love the shadows AND the suds on the bowl!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, great colour - The blossom (Is that Chinese Lantern?) is a fine, delicate touch. Oh, and hang onto that pudding basin. They're hard to find now, and when you do find them, they cost a fortune.
ReplyDeleteYet somehow the bananas look as though they are ready to jump ... on the verge of motion ... very nice!
ReplyDeleteYou should be impressed. It's lovely. Too often people don't see the beauty right in front of them.

That's a great still life shot. Makes me want to pick up a brush and give it a try. LBx
ReplyDeleteI want that bowl.

Happy Sunday.
I love that the bowl has a little chip in its rim.
