Februum Hoard

Did you know February is named after the Latin word for purification -Februum- so is possibly the genesis for the term Spring Cleaning when we ( some of us) declutter and do deep cleaning!!

I must remember when I set a challenge I'm doing it too!! I asked Kathy to find some of her clutter and do a still life in the style of an old master painting.

Most of this is destined to go to the cheriddy shop, or tip, some will be returned to its owner to deal with though!

Bloody difficult to paint this especially in the style of the old masters (underpaint and all)
Great shot and hilarious tag!

You have an interesting variety of “clutter”! You definitely have an artistic eye to be able to arrange it so beautifully for this photo! You and Vikki definitely have a knack for still life composition!
Fun tag!

@jacqbb I love when people read my tags.

Great tag and there's many an old master paintings with droopy flowers taking the limelight.

Very artsy. I haven't gotten to that challenge yet. At least now I'll be prepared.

Such an interesting collection of clutter. I’ve heard “I lick my cheese” is a funny book. Sorry you couldn’t get your hyacinth to stand up 😂
