White Daisies Still Lifes

February 12, 2023 by Marilyn Botta

I had some beautiful white daisies that I used to do some Still Lifes. Previously I had sculpted a head out of clay and thought it would make for an unusual addition to these photos. I also added some green apples, and a red candle complete with smoke. I think white flowers always look lovely on a black background. So, here are my latest Still Lifes which are somewhat different than my usual images. I enjoyed working on these and I hope you enjoy them too.

Sunflowers at the Window

December 30, 2022 by Marilyn Botta

Although this is a short post, I felt I had to add these two beautiful pics of gorgeous sunflowers (my favorite flower) looking out the window in the afternoon sunshine. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did photographing these lovely flowers.

White Daisies and Books

July 16, 2022 by Marilyn Botta

I love white daisies against a black background so I decided to do a still life of white daisies in a metal pitcher, with books, and glasses. I have two different versions: one without the apple, and one with a green apple that offsets the green in the middle of the daisies. I like them both and I cannot decide which one is better. I only have two in this post because I actually took numerous shots of the same thing until I was satisfied.

Purple Flowers and Plums

May 15, 2022 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

I bought some gorgeous purple flowers (Alstroemeria/Peruvian lilies) and plums to complete the purple theme. I added a purple cloth. Some I took against a black background, and some against a white one and added a texture. I like them both. Hopefully you can choose which one you like best.

Mixed Still Lifes – Hats, Flowers, Chest, and Fruit

May 15, 2022 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

These are Mixed Still Lifes using hats, flowers, small treasure chest, books, trays, and even a bible. I took these on different days but decided to combine them into one post. It is very eclectic, but I think they fit into one post very well. Some I used a black background and some were taken against a white backdrop and I added a texture to give it color.

Daisies, Mums, and Fruit

March 4, 2022 by Marilyn Botta

I decided to complete my Still Life series with some daisies, mums, and fruit. I am fascinated by beautiful flowers and setting up a scene utilizing items on hand. It can be never ending, since I create my own reality. Sometimes my own reality is much more palatable then the real thing. Living in a beautiful fantasy world, where there are no wars, or outside horrors of the day, is a wonderful way to live.

Peruvian Lilies and Fruit Still Lifes

February 12, 2022 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment




I did some Still Lifes of Peruvian Lilies (aka Alstroemeria)–orange and yellow. I photographed these gorgeous flowers using many different backgrounds and vases; some using textures taken against a white background and some against a black backdrop. I used oranges, pears, and grapes. The photos are similar but different. I love the textures but also the ones with the black background–it is a matter of personal preference. They would look beautiful hanging on anyone’s wall, especially on a canvas. Any of these can be converted to a canvas. Enjoy!

Mums, pears, and lemons

January 14, 2022 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

I decided to do some still-lifes of beautiful mums (Chrysanthemums) along with pears, and lemons and a basket. I also did some photos using a chair as well. These are gorgeous flowers that I never knew the name of.

I took some Still Lifes of beautiful sunflowers, corn, and fruit in September 2021. I took these against a white background and used a texture.

Red Roses and Oranges

November 12, 2020 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment


I purchases a new macro lens and decided to take some macro shots of oranges and red roses. It is so beautiful to see a rose with water droplets close up. Red roses are the most beautiful flower in my estimation.
