Still life -memento mori

Oil painting class

The theme was memento mori. We looked for objects in our homes that represent the concept. It has something old yet its beauty still contained (the potpourri), purity and innocence (the glass bird), modernism (green container), and the magnificence of new life (tree necklace, with the chain laid out to tie them all together), and time (the clock) watches over them all.

Techniques used: blending, glazing, rubbing, dabbing
