"Festival"


Posted by Picasa Another in a slowly growing series rendering in color pencil, this shows a still life just a bit different from the usual - no decaying fare here, nor flies and other bugs around - just good healthy and vibrant foods, along with a container in which to eat them, and a cup by beans, suggesting coffee to join.. and a floral decoration adding to the festivity..... the metaphoric in this is obvious, tho also obvious yet not likely to be noticed is that all are products of man - even the veggies are man-created, not wild fare - so there is as much the celebrating of being human in this as anything, the flourishing as proper to being human, and the thanks to being human so that this could have come into existence.......
