On rare occasions, I will paint a still life - usually only if there is just no way I for me to get out to paint. Oddly enough, it take me longer to paint a still life than a landscape. With a still life, I tend to see every tiny detail and try to put them all in. With a landscape, it's easy for me to simplify everything. A friend suggested painting the eggs which are so simple, yet so complicated and the rose was just something beautiful.
