A very inviting mood has this still life.
(to sitting in it, and dream away).
Love it!!!

Oh how lovely! I would love to sit there with a book! Great one!

Helle

Thankyou, doch and miesie :) And great work as always, helle

I love your still lives Helle! It is the cutest little statue! Great work dear friend!

Wow, Helle, how I like your still life's. That shining one with the frog, is most impressing, although I love your last one also very much!
When you ever need money, you can sell them to me.... perhaps ????

Thanks Carin.
As long as i can remember (and that till about my thirth year) my grandma had this little girl standing on the top of her display cabinet. Later my uncle bought the house and i got the little statue. The other one is a little faun made in Danish royal porcelain..... not so old :-)

HEHE Thank you Mies. I will remember it

**helanker: love upload...like the one with the frog on his knees...so cute
****micturn: lovely light.....nice place to relax

good luck all of you

Priska it looks really cosy in your garden :)

thank you Helle, your's are so lovely, specialy the little one with the frog!

Oh that looks quite relaxing Priska! A restful Sunday morning! Lovely still life!!

Congratulations to all for the wonderful pictures!  :-)

Smart sax photo indeed :-) I like all the reflections.

 great saxophon study! love it!!

Thanks to all! :-)

Fantastic image, Priska! I like the play of light and shadow in this one! :-)

LOL That shadow looks like a fish :-D  Excellent.... i like that  :)

Gran bel programma quello di tua nipote: io ho sempre pensato che il più bello strumento musicale sia l'orchestra . Deve essere un pioacere eccezionale quando tanti professori aspettano un tuo gesto per dare il meglio di sè . Tanti auguri a tua nipote ! Serve un ricambio per Muti , grande direttore. BUona settimana , M.C.,
Complimenti e buona settimana anche agli autori precedenti.

To close in "sweetness" my participation in this challenge, here are figs laid on a texture  provided by Mario, a valued friend!
Thanks Mario, also for valuable advice on Photoshop! :-)

A good week to everyone of you!   :-)

Non è facile diventare direttore d'orchestra... la strada è molto lunga e, specialmente per una donna, piena di ostacoli! Spero solo che il suo sogno possa avverarsi...  lei ce la sta mettendo tutta! :-)

Awww that is indeed a lovely and ... sweet still life Well done.

wonderful figs, dolce still live!

Excellent achievement! You have done a great job! It was worth it. Based think it's easier to do than to say 

Grazie Mario! Ho penato un po', ma poi ho trovato il modo per sistemare questi benedetti fichi sulla texture....  ho reso trasparente la zona inferiore della foto con i fichi e poi l'ho incollata sulla tua texture, con l'opzione ombra esterna ho dato un po' di spessore alla frutta... credo che il risultato sia abbastanza buono, vero?  :-)

Thank you Mario! I labored a bit, but then I found a way to put  these blessed figs on the texture....
I made trasparent the lower area of the photo with the figs and then I glued it on your texture, with the drop shadow option I gave a little thick to fruit ... I believe that the result is good enough, right? :-)

Many thanks, Helle and Priska!  I'm glad you like it!   :-)

Two wonderful additions to the forum - the shadow of the umbrella and the lovely fruit bouquet!
Well done indeed!!

What an original still life. Beautiful, Prisca.!!!

Oh, and that sax is wonderful, so much blink, blink.
I love that photo, Maria C.

Thanks, Carin and Mies!  :-)

Still life = Natura morta!  ;-)   Ottima foto!

Quote - This is a still life, the first oil painting that I ever made.
I do not know if this is what fits in this challenge?
Many greetings to all.

Eccellente scatto, Alida! La luce è bellissima! :-)

Sono d'accordo per il bello scatto ! Bella luce e direi un buon dettaglio ,Alida !

A belated start for me...
I have been playing with the camera on my new cellphone.  I downloaded a 'retro camera' app for it and this was what I managed to achieve, no post editing!

You guys and girls come up with such a great ideas. Truly a pleasure to check back week after week. Good job!!
