still life


Here is an amazing painting by Caravaggio you can google him as I am too lazy to write about the old crazy bastard. He was my kind of artist--a rabble rouser crazy man who was always in trouble. You wouldnt know it from this masterpiece of quiet observation. This is almost japanese in its simplicity, neither bell nor whistles. I dont paint many still life's because I dont paint many still lives. If I did paint a still life it would be in motion.
