Chair and Woven Dishes

Excellent picture, Jack! Elegance and simplicity! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Jack, wonderful light. But don't sit down. Best regards, Franz

Hi Jack,

 

where do you find scenes like this? The round reed objects on the chair form a contrast to the chair and its surroundings in a way that makes the whole image stand out. It's not about the round forms vs the angular shapes or the warmer colors vs the colder, but rather the unlikelihood of the scene itself. Excellent presentation, very well seen. Kind regards, Vincent

Jack, I'm afraid that I have nothing else to add. Tatiana, Franz, and Vincent's comments cover almost the entire gamut. This image is a paradigm of a still-life and, had one of the "old masters" painted it, one would see it in a museum.

Tatiana, Franz, Vincent, Michael - Thank you for taking the time to express your thoughts. As a kind of side note to Vincent's comment, I believe scenes like this present themselves to you in answer to the level of your intent. When you grow cataracts in your artistic eye, the world becomes grey and uninteresting (as it seems to be for me now). But intention and faith magically clears the lens and you see things as they truly are in all their wonder.

Very nice still life! My sincere compliments, Jack! PDE

Jack! I often get a profound feeling looking at your images. Simplicity is your trademark. Arthur

Thanks, Arthur. Yeah, I always like to keep things simple. Easier said than done.

Very nice composition of still life, Jack! Typically Mc Ritchie's! Cheers to that! PDE
