Still Life

A still life is a classic practice for working artists. It's a good exercise in seeing.

This summer my life has been marked by a stillness of a certain quality I've not know. It became at times so quiet that every little object and sound came into focus.

One day I washed a bunch of pears and put them onto a wooden plate my friend Dennis made and let the late afternoon sunshine do the rest. Quiet and still can be beautiful.
