Hi everybody!

One of my friends recently asked me if I am bored to paint still lives.
I answered him NO and explained why.

Hopefully, this post will explain it a bit more.

I love the beauty of ordinary things. The beauty of an old oil lamp found at the antique store, the fragility of an antique perfume bottle, the glowing colors of a seashell, the beauty of the light hitting a piece of an old wood make me feel excited about the paintings they can be made into.
When I get a box with the objects that I use to paint from life off the shelf, I feel like a little girl who is getting her treasure box out of a secret place. Then I play with my treasures arranging them into something I like and start this magic process of painting. What an enjoyment that is!

May be you could share your antic store or flee market shopping  experience here.

Did you have enough luck to find a treasure?
