12 days into my year long making of a daily still life. What a great idea Mary Siegle came up with for my challenge this week, she asked me to make a memento mori or vanitas still life. So here we are a first attempt in this genre.
@mcsiegle Thank you so much Mary for this most interesting challenge. I loved having to do the research as I knew only had a vague idea of what a memento mori or vanitas still life was, it is an interesting genre and I am sure I will pursue it more. Cheers.
Very nice! I love the use of the rosary with the book of prayer. Did either of them by any chance belong to someone in the photo? Challenge met — mission accomplished!
@mcsiegle No, the photo is of my wife's father, the boy in the centre, and his parents and siblings. The other items are all mine, the prayer book was given to me in 1967 when I went to a theological college.
