Still Life: Life in a shell

Still Life: Life in a shell
My tenth and last still life here today, displaying a photo with some of the same ingredients as in my SPC competition entries that started all this. No surprise really as this was done on the same shoot.

I have tried to harmonies the colours and shades somewhat as well as having harmonies in shape and form. The woven basketwork base tries to imitate the lines in the shell too. Another end result that may have looked good on a restaurant place mat perhaps.

I hope you have enjoyed this series from me as much as I enjoyed producing it, and that it demonstrated perhaps some different ideas from me other than my usual landscapes and holiday selections.

Nice full screen.

What a great idea Herb...................and you've definitely nailed it. Beautifully detailed and the basketwork base provides a perfect background which complements the the shell nicely.

A very well balanced image................and an excellent one to finish your still-life series on. I've really enjoyed viewing them. Thanks for sharing.

Many thanks Keith. I enjoyed doing all these which in every case was a different challenge for me. This one displaying the plant as though it really belonged in there. As you say, a different setting to finish the series off. Of course, my pleasure to share this series with you here.

Keep good, Herb

The shape and colour of the leaves you have used fit very well with the shell Herb. I see what you mean with the basket work, and yes, it does the job very well.
An enjoyable series. Well done. Take care, Rosa.

Thanks Rosa. It all came together here with this, which was done on the same shoot as my similar glass with this cutting along with the other shells and also the cheese board shots. All on the kitchen work-top and conservatory floor/table. Nest stop -more landscapes :)

Keep well, Herb
