Found three small glass bottles on a secondhand stall in the market place. Brought one of the last hydrangea blooms inside (without insects!) and had a go at this still life. I added two of my own textures and a vignette. Still looking for the best place in the house for natural light, so far it's in the kitchen. I really ought to be thinking of winter/Christmas themes but I think I'm still stuck in autumn!
It is a lovely still life and good to stay in Autumn and put off Winter until it really comes with snow etc.... Jackie in Surrey.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful vignette and I'm amazed your hydrangea are still looking so good. I love the blue bottle. Only 2 weeks until Christmas. Time is flying fast. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely composition this is, Julia.
ReplyDeleteA beautifully composed picture, Julia. I love the proportions, and the contrast between the textured surfaces of the flowers and bottle, and the lovely soft background.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about Autumn - it really is a beautiful time of year. We've had beautiful autumn colours in Devon this year.

Hi Julia, You really found a very nice bottle in the second hand store! The ones I find are pretty grungy. As for the "theme", these autumn colors and hydrangea are always a delight to see, and enjoy, even at Christmas time. You are so talented at creating textures and vignettes! xx
