In creating this still life, I wanted to use beautiful contrasting colors to bring out the green of the limes, and the vase. I added the pink lilies to the glass vase, and placed the limes into the goblet one by one. I added a black and white ceramic jug along with a black chess piece. This beautiful arrangement was placed on a green and white cloth. To complete the theme, I created a bluish, green texture for the background.
Pink Lilies and Apples
I wanted to create a rustic composition that had both warmth and elegance. I assembled a pretty glass red vase and added pink lilies. I matched the red vase with a lit red candle on a pewter holder. I added red apples spilling out of a wicker basket. I then arranged these gorgeous elements on a green cloth for contrast. I added a complementary texture to highlight the beauty of this composition.
Pumpkins and Yellow Lilies
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.
Oranges and Lilies
I placed some mandarin oranges into a goblet. I added some gorgeous orange lilies into a blue glass vase. I placed a terracotta pot on the side for a rustic touch. I photographed this against a white backdrop and added textures to give this photo a painted look.
Yellow Lilies and Pears
A vibrant yellow lily stands elegantly in a glass vase beside a martini glass holding a pear, with two more pears placed on a soft green cloth. The muted background enhances the natural colors and simple beauty of the arrangement.
Green Pears and Yellow Lilies
I had an old silver teapot that I had sitting on my credenza. I polished it and filled it with vibrant orange Peruvian lilies. I placed three green pears at the base of the teapot. I placed beautiful yellow lilies in a green glass vase. I placed a fat orange candle on a pewter decorative candle holder and I added an orange/brown texture to give the arrangement depth and warmth.
Oranges, Lilies, and Blue Vase
A vibrant arrangement features orange lilies in a blue vase, accompanied by a woven basket of mandarin oranges and three lit candles. The calm composition is enhanced by the contrasting colors and soft lighting. The orange and green candles add to the calming atmosphere.
Clematis Blue Light
I went outside my house after it rained and noticed the beautiful droplets of water on this Clematis Blue Light flower. I grabbed my macro lens and shot this image. The violet petals surrounding the center of this flower, highlighted by droplets of water gently resting on its surface accentuate the natural beauty and complexity of this blossom.This beauty blooms each year at this time.
Mini Carnations and Green Pears
I decided to do a still life using mini carnations and green pears as the theme. I put the carnations into a pear-shaped brown glass vase. I also added the carnations to a small black-and-shite ceramic vase. I added a green lit candle to a metal holder and placed two green pears beneath it. I placed all the elements on top of a wooden board. I added an orange texture as a background to bring out the beauty of this composition which have complementary colors.
Orange Lilies and Apples
I found an orange wax candle, and a peach and cream colored ceramic vase while looking for items to use in my still life. The vase was matched with some gorgeous orange lilies which offset the orange in the candle. Two red apples were placed at the base of the candle holder, and added a gray stone vase with little baby yellow carnations was added. The entire composition was offset by a beautiful texture I added as a background. There is a lovely contrast between the rustic vases and the vibrant colors of the flowers.
