266 days into my year long making of a daily still life and I am now within 100 days of my year long still life challenge.
The Serbian Bellflower is a species of Campanula, a really beautiful flower that received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Campanula's symbolism represents gratitude, humility, attractiveness and everlasting love. It is also associated with death and is often planted on graves.
These lines are taken from 'A Toccata of Galuppi's' by Robert Browning:
"Was a lady such a lady, cheeks so round and lips so red,—
On her neck the small face buoyant, like a bell-flower on its bed,
O'er the breast's superb abundance where a man might base his head?"
We are paired for Get Pushed this week.
I have noticed that you are doing a year long still life so my challenge will go along with that.
I also noticed that most of your still lifes are a single item on a plain background which qualifies more as a minimalist shot than a still life, in my opinion. However, art truly allows for different interpretations!!
So, your challenge for this week is to do a true still life in the style of the old masters. Your choice of subject - floral, food, candles ... the options are endless!
Here are some images for ideas for you: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=old+masters+still+life+images
