Still lives




The first still life I made in 2007, while having summer vacation in Catskill Mountains, NY. I used for it a wide strip of beech bark, a piece of dry moos, a fiery eat-me-raw mushroom and a burdock seed/flower. I like how the mushroom turned out best : )
The second still life has a 'meaning'... what i want to say is that, when I assemble the still lives I usually don't create a message, I just put smth beautiful in front of me. But this one is made of dead roses, fresh mangoes, and a mask - beauty in death, life and eternity. 
The third one again has no special meaning. My friend, a florist, brought some left over lilies from her shop. The second day they opened, and I said to myself "it is now or never", so took my brushes and painted it. And because I was so obsessed by the lilies I messed up the composition, so there were hardly any space for delphinium left : P  sigh...
