I will set up a still life in my studio from time to time, I spend a lot of time studying the pieces, and rearranging them. Do I draw them? No, I just enjoy them but there is a lot to be learned from them by simply having them around.
Organize your collections, I picked up inexpensive trays (2.99 each) at my Salvation Army.
I picked these up at a yard sale, they reminded me of my trip to California.
A walk in the woods and I found these lovely gandodermas!
Found along the road in California.
And then theres the collections and I don't mean wealthy millionare collections I mean crazy like a fox collections! I collect bark, pinecones, lichens, fungi, rocks, fabric bits and some vintage items, but it's always about texture and form.
My mom spray painted this rather large pine cone with silver paint over 30 years ago, I found it in her xmas stash I brought back in 2005
