Creative Every Day: I Tackle Still Life
Posted in Art, Photography on 11/04/2009 04:58 pm by Susan
Thanks to my friend Julie Jordan Scott’s facebook post, I ran into this site – Creative Every Day – and I’ve put a link on the box to the left. Liking a challenge, and of course always doing too much, I joined right in. That meant I had to create something today – because the point of this challenge is to create something every day for the month of November. Leah (it’s her blog and her challenge) started this seven years ago, and this year over 200 artists are participating.
The idea is to nudge your creativity and spark new ideas even if you don’t do something every single day. But I’ve been wanting to do still lives so decided, what the heck, today is the day!
Since I can’t paint (except backgrounds) and I work with photos, I had to set up the still life and then photograph it until I was satisfied. And I am satisfied. It’s my first effort and it could have been worse. So here it is, and we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
The sheet music was Mark’s grandmothers, the photo is his dad’s elementary school class, or maybe middle school, and the pitcher belonged to his mother. Want to see it in color? Get ready for bright!
I wonder which one you all like best? Obviously the sepia looks old, but the color has some nice contrasts and I love purple. Feel free to leave comments and let me know.
OK – THE VERDICT IS IN
I am using neither of the above as my Still Life: Music. I’ll put in the “official” one here:
