Still Life: Life in a shell

nobody@ipernity.com (Herb Riddle) — Wed, 20 May 2020 06:42:14 +0000

My tenth and last still life here today, displaying a photo with some of the same ingredients as in my SPC competition entries that started all this. No surprise really as this was done on the same shoot.

I have tried to harmonies the colours and shades somewhat as well as having harmonies in shape and form. The woven basketwork base tries to imitate the lines in the shell too. Another end result that may have looked good on a restaurant place mat perhaps.

I hope you have enjoyed this series from me as much as I enjoyed producing it, and that it demonstrated perhaps some different ideas from me other than my usual landscapes and holiday selections.

Nice full screen.

Still Life: Bowl of fruit

Another in the grand tradition of still life. The subject of many an artist, be it in oils, watercolours or pencils. You can tell a nice still life fruit study by the increase in saliva it provokes or the urge to simply touch the fruit skins, and in this case stroke the soft wood of the bowl too. The secret to it all, of course, is lighting. I hope that you too recognise these things as I do.

A chance for me to take still life on holiday. Here we were staying in a charming rented house were all that was needed was for us to fill up these decanters.
With six adults here, they would not have remained full for long :) I like the gentle harmonic greens with the warm golds of the whisky but the shape and lines of the glass also appealed to me.

Enjoy full size.

When a couple get together in a certain atmospheric situation it only takes an extra touch, like a rose, to set things afire. Enjoy this prelude to love!

One of my very early attempts at still-life here. This is showing its age a bit now but it still demonstrates that art lives on forever. And yes, this ended up as a great lunch.

Enjoy full size.

ps this loaf was made at a local Ukrainian bakery, long since gone.

Now and again, I do try to take something different to my beloved landscapes. Just recently I had the pleasure to choose the subject of the Ipernity SPC monthly competition to be 'Still Life'. Here is one of my three contributions which came runner-up (2nd) along with Steve Paxtons 'Red Wine' to Mariagrazia Gaggero - 'Facciamo il pesto!' who won first place.
A great competition and one that I would heartily recommend all Ipernity members to have a go at. The next comp will be announced on the 12th of the month.

Nice full screen on black.
