After doing travel photography for a couple weeks, it feels great to get back into still life photography! I’m catching up on lessons for Be Still 52 (and Texture Tuesday), and today’s photo is for the most recent assignment, where we were challenged to take a photo based on a painting. It was helpful to be provided with a link to a Pinterest board of stilllife paintings, and I chose one of three lemons on a striped tea towel.
I am currently lemon-less, so used apples from my friend, Debbie, who had to rid her kitchen of perishables in preparation for traveling to Nashville. I do have some wonderful new tea towels, however- a gift from my daughter!
My image has darker lighting than the painting from which I drew my inspiration, but is lit from the left, as was the original image. I textured it with Kim Klassen’s monday and chill textures.

Lovely still life…
Beautifully done!
Apples are great photo props and much more apropos for fall, don’t you think? I love that tea towel!
Just stunning!!
Simply wonderful!
Gorgeous image – I love the moody darkness of your image and the purple/blue in the shadows is so unexpected. So lovely.
Lovely!
Beautiful still life, I love the tones and the light !
So lovely!
Wonderful! I love the dark moody feel, the light that is there is perfect. The tea towel makes a great prop.
