Still Life
by Fred

Still Life:Representation of inanimate objects, such as flowers or fruit, in painting or photography - taken from the 17th century Dutch,still-leven. (answers.com) I think a better description is *captured in time*. A still life is the combination of the objects and the light at that particular moment. If you place some objects near a window and look at them at various times of day, you will see a totally different scene - the play of light and the shadows created all change the picture. Fred's mastery of light and shading bring these designs to life. For the projects below, I took a large towel and added a padded border - a combination hot pad and towel.
