Pumpkins and Yellow Lilies

October 15, 2025 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

It is Fall and what says Fall other than orange pumpkins. I placed mini pumpkins into a martini glass, and added a green wax candle with flame. Yellow lilies in a green glass vase completed the basic composition. I then added a light blue texture for the background, which creates a warm and cozy scene.

Pumpkin and Skulls

October 13, 2025 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

I decided to create an image depicting the beautiful autumn colors of Halloween. I also decided to add some spookiness to this gorgeous scene by using some skulls. Nothing says Halloween like scary skulls. Of course I had to include a lovely little orange pumpkin. Orange lilies, and a thick orange lit candle all captured against a black backdrop depict the magic of Halloween.

All About Orange

November 25, 2024 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

This still life features mostly shades of orange with some green and yellow on the side. I found a lovely peach and cream vase. I added some gorgeous orange lilies and some mini yellow carnations to a green vase for some contrast.I added some mini orange pumpkins and a wide orange lit candle in keeping with the orange theme. I feel this arrangement speaks Autumn. A delicate blue texture was added which give this composition a soft easy and relaxing feel.

Orange Lilies, Pumpkins, and Candle

November 9, 2023 by Marilyn Botta

I love everything about the Fall–from the beginnings of cool crisp days, to even the end of daylight savings time. I love the colorful Autumn leaves. I decided to incorporate all the elements of this season into these images. Pumpkins are a big part of the season. I incorporated some lovely orange lilies to match the pumpkins. I added some green grapes to a green ceramic vase, as well as an upside down goblet with a white candle and flame. You can see more of my work on: marilyn-botta.pixels.com.
