Still Lives

I've been looking at still lives a lot lately.It's always been a bit of a mystery to me how a painter could take some fruit or a bowl or some dead fish and whatnot and make something interesting out of them. The Dutch Old Masters especially.

So I thought I'd give it a try...

I found some interesting looking oranges (thank you Dorothy)...

An Indian bowl and a bit of green velvet...

And...

So now I know why they call them Masters.

Then I went outside and found this...

I call this image Paradise with an Ant.

I think I'll go back to landscape photography next, see you soon .
