Still so much of life

First it was planned to be one more short-term still life: trio of garlic fists and their sophisticated shadows, nothing else. Then I baked a Corn Bread - I have to admit that it was quite spontaneous. The bread had such a beautiful colors that I wanted to paint it immediately. Still being into the garlic-paint, I didn't want to leave it unfinished and switch to another one; so I decided to combine two in one. Oh, it was not great idea, not at all, because colors didn't look like one assemble. I changed and re-painted it for about six (!) times, until I felt that I can accept it. The final version is here - may be not the best one, but at least it done.

Search This BlogABOUT USWhy Still Life
Still life is one of genres that often underestimated as it is considered educational. Let us disagree with this. Still life is a mirror of the moment, it often deals with everyday objects that seem us casual today, but in a while they would make an interest for spectator as "antique" stuff. Fashion, technologies, habits of people change faster then you can imagine. Once these still objects get reflected in the painting - they receive a fixed place in lines of our memories. Thanks to its ability to be composed in particular way, still life is an excellent tool to express the mood or idea of the author. Exactly alike one's mind it could be plain or deep, joyful or pissed of, to express curiosity/ balance or disbalance/ Zen or stress, etc.
TO CALL THEM NAMESWhen named - painting is getting personal. Reviving itself, he will wake you up to emotions, associations and thoughts. Giving creative names to the paintings we often turn the spectator to another direction. Named still life is getting alive, playful and actively interact with spectator.
