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.

Three Green Pears

July 18, 2025 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

I gathered three ripe pears in my studio and arranged them in a row against a black and then white backdrop. Each image has a different feel to it. Not sure which I like better. All these images were taken in studio. The colors on the second image were added as a texture. The image against the black backdrop were arranged on a shiny black table. Their vibrant green color and smooth, glossy surface give them a fresh and appetizing appearance. They look good enough to eat.

Green Pears and Yellow Lilies

July 14, 2025 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

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.

Mini Carnations and Green Pears

January 13, 2025 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

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.
