Rain's Thursday Art Date: Still Life

Today we're meeting at Rain's for her Thursday Art Date.  This week, the theme is Still Life.  I don't draw or even doodle, so I don't have a lot of examples.  What I mostly have will be still life art I have found at my local art museums.

I'm not sure these first two can be called Still Life,

because this is a bit of a stretch.

I'm not sure this could be considered a still life,

or this one, either.

I think I'm getting closer,

even though this Phil Epp painting of clouds may be a bit of a stretch.

Oh wow.  I finally found a couple of still life paintings, but they were mixed in with many more.

I somehow believe others might not think this is a still life.

Although this is an abstract, I truly believe this one is definitely a still life.

And NO ONE can doubt this is a still life.

These leaves on a wall make me think they might be a still life.

I somehow doubt anyone would believe this wasn't a still life.

I had finally found the still life museum pieces I was looking for.

And this one, too.

Now let's switch gears.

I colored and fussy cut these pumpkins for Thanksgiving one year.

I welcomed spring with these tulips in one of my altered books, too.

Those cups of coffee in the lower left of the book page remind me of something Andy Warhol would have painted.

I was auditioning still life on art quiltlets.

I never could decide on a design I truly liked, so this was never made.

Next, I give you a pair of collaged pears, which I believe qualify.

T Stands For Tuesday, the blog hop I host each week has a few opportunities, like this one that honored my Grandmother (who refused to work on a quilt top in the background I purchased at a garage sale, because the points weren't even).

Granted, this may be grasping at straws, but it certainly looks like a still life to me.

And finally, this is my own interpretation of a still life I created for T Stands For Tuesday back in 2011, when I had such a puny camera.

All non-museum art created by me.  All photos taken by me.  Bleubeard was extra loving because he saw how incredibly frustrated I got trying to find anything Still Life for this challenge.

Thank you ever so much for stopping by today.  I am truly grateful to you, my friends, followers, readers, and lurkers for visiting.  Please also join me at Rain's Thursday Art Date.
