Light painted still life with bluebells
Still life with tissue paper and seashell shot on a light pad. Happy New Year.
Flatlay still life with forget me not flowers. The background is created by cutting a hole in the lid of a shoe box to form a niche to frame the flowers - and laying some textured card underneath them. A separate texture, from a weather-worn metal post found and shot in Bristol, has then been added around the niche and around the edge of the 'shoebox lid' background in processing.
Bluebells set on layers of gauze and tissue paper and shot on a light pad
Natural meets Industrial. Skeleton leaves shot on a light pad and then blended with a rusty metal texture shot on Temple Meads Approach near the main railway station in Bristol.
Old factory.
I found this little piece of flat rusty metal on the beach at Trefor on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales and thought the blue of the three Welsh mussel shells went well with the rusty texture. The text in the background is from a medieval script (in Welsh) of the ancient tale of Taliesin, who was given that name after being rescued from the ocean as a baby.
I recently discovered a watercolorist that captured my attention completely, Hubert Shuptrine. I now have his oversized book and when the day becomes a bit too trying, I relax by studying his paintings. I photographed his still life to create my own version of a basket of apples as an introduction to the autumn season.

Still Life with Blackberries and Geraniums - now, sadly, both gone over.....
A good friend brought my partner a massive bunch of Delphiniums for her birthday and these flower heads fell off the stems. She was going to throw them away - but, of course, I had other ideas.😊Natural light. Tripod.

Flatlay still life of daffodil on textured paper in a wooden frame.The cherry blossom petals were shot separately on a lightbox and added to the background in processing. Poem courtesy of William Wordsworth, of course.
I am working with the enthusiasm of a man from Marseilles eating bouillabaisse, which shouldn't come as a surprise to you because I am busy painting huge sunflowers.

Flatlay still life of woodworking tools and other accessories in a roughly made (by me) wooden box. Part of a {very} occasional ongoing series of 'boxed' images and still lifes.
Art is longing.
You never arrive,
but you keep going
in the hope that you will.

I saw him sitting on a bench in the city of Tarragona (Spain). He sat there in thought....
Brought this piece of dried Kelp (seaweed) back from Bamburgh Beach in Northumberland where I found it lying on the rocks.Reminded me of a particularly colourful lone tree - every photographer's obsession!
Where I'd prefer to be right now....
Light painted still life with some pub regulars. Not a 'self portrait' as I prefer a pint of stout or porter; always go for crisps over nuts (apart from the company); usually lose at dominoes; haven't the patience for crosswords; don't gamble and never actually buy the Daily Mirror (other than as a prop) 😁
