There’s Still Life
“What Defines Still Life?
Still life refers to artworks that feature non-living objects, carefully arranged to create a meaningful composition. These objects may include natural elements like flowers, fruits, and shells, as well as man-made items such as books, ceramics, glassware, or musical instruments.” — Josefina Vergara
I enjoy mentally playing with words and phrases by slightly or greatly twisting their meanings or seeing them in different contexts. This quirky humor likely influenced the naming of my blog, “Meandering Passage.”
“Still Life” is one of those phrases that makes me smile, especially as I grow older. It may be true that it’s not what it used to be, but yes, there’s still life here. 😉
Can “still life” also refer to how it often hurts less to be still than to move after a day of yard work? :-)
Sounds ‘proper’ to me; think of it as an experience of immersing yourself into your art form. 😉
Very nice photo. It’s well composed and well lit and I could use a bottle right about now.
Thank you, Ken. Visiting the small pull-off-the-road vineyards in Italy was unpredictable. Sometimes you’d discover a wonderful surprise, while other times the wine primarily tasted like vinegar. The same goes for some of the small vineyards around here. I don’t remember which group the above wine in the photo fell in.
I am fascinated with this image. I believe you porcessed it to perfection. It looks like a wonderful fine art image to print and hang. I would love to see an image of it hanging on you wall. My life is not what it used to be, is much more like still life, hurts less when I’m still but the body needs to be moving.
Thank you, Monte. Here’s hoping that while age may limit our bodies, it will have little effect on the mind and spirit. As I recently heard, it’s not about how many breaths you take in life, but rather about how many moments you experience that take your breath away.
I agree, we need to keep moving, it scares the buzzards away! Haha
