jarryds Halloween party

I made applepie muffins for the party~

Jarryd's home was decorated SO spooky! Everything from the decorations

to the food was just Perfect!~

still life

I am becoming mildly obsessed with fruit photographic still life's. The farmers market guys think I am the nutty curl haired lady comparing 30 tiny pears looking for the one with the best photogenic qualities.

When you are an art student, still life's became the foundation of all your fine art practices. Charcoal, paint, pencil they breakdown of apples and pears in a space teach your hands and eyes the fundamentals of objects which are occupying a space. Understand this and you begin the process of mastering that concept.

If you think them boring try a peek at some of the simple fruit still lifes of Paul Cezanne. That french guy could take a sheet draped in oranges and explode the canvas with more colors than you ever thought possible on some plain old orange. He was the Valentino of color.

Jarryd does...

Mmmm make up cookies!

Well.... they are really made up cookies... anything that resembles a cookie

that is in your cupboard... these came out a bit... muffin like.

tolerance

Tuckie is a pretty tolerant guy. A camera shoved in his face any time he is looking 

remotely photogenic and I am clicking away like a loon.
