The unpacking continues apace.
I have not seen these three skulls for 14 months however they have survived unscathed.
The flowers I can take or leave, the wine glass I am intimately acquainted with. The grapes are a passing pleasure and the fire is as fire will be.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
My first thought when I saw this on my phone was Yum, Brussel sprouts so little disappointed to see they were grapes. So pleased to see the dandelion head emphasising the fleetingness of time? Have you ever written stories btw?? Love the smoke!
@kklinck You probably should - it would be remiss of me not to... @fbailey Thanks and yes, yes I have written. Nothing remotely sensible though. @brigette Thank ya ma'am, one tries :) @julzmaioro We never let friends unpack for us. My OCD wouldn't allow it. @koalagardens If it doesn't hold half the bottle I'm not interested.
such a Graeme take on still life and memento mori (did you see someone else posted a skull yesterday and a few of us thought it was yours until we clicked on it.)
This is a wonderful still life, love the skulls! I’m going to follow you in the hope to learn from your photo’s. The culprit that Shanne mentioned was I...... your feedback would be much appreciated
I just recently learned (while visiting an art museum) that this is an actual art form called Vanitas. You have certainly portrayed it as well as any "old master." Well done, Graeme! :)
'i have not seen these three skulls for 14 months'. not a sentence many of us would utter. and surely it should be the opening line of your novel? love your composition and processing
@annied It's one of my favourite 6 wine glasses... @kwind I threw them out immediately ;) @Dawn Thank you very much :) @joysabin Thank you kindly - vanitas would be just the right thing :) @jgpittenger Not quite lost...not even I would dare ;) @golftragic I'm sure they'll make a come back ;) @rosiekerr Thank you kindly :) @moonbi What are we waiting for though? @gardencat natural causes I can assure you ;) @pistache Now there's a thought. How could I possibly follow that in Chapter 2? @not_left_handed Thank you kindly :) @juliedduncan It is indeed - I love the old masters and their musty paintings ;) @jacqbb Follow away but don;t blame me if you can no longer sleep ;) @brigette Ugh, I hate broad beans! @cutekitty Another tasty morsel of which I am partial ;) @haskar Thank you very much :) @30pics4jackiesdiamond I just don;t know where to start so here I sit, photographing things :) @jamibann Of course it's unusual ;)
