Okay, so, Irene is participating in Project 52, and I am mostly only vicariously living through her and not committing… just yet. Routine deadlines make me want to fall to the ground in a faint and let every last drop of blood drain out of my body.
Meanwhile, I could not stop thinking about the still life assignment. What is a still life anyway? Irene told me today, “Objects that you compose into an arrangement, not something you happen upon.” “OH!!” I said. I kind of knew that but never would have put it in those words. Can you tell that I didn’t go to art school?
Anyway – the assignment calls for something that evokes a peaceful feeling, if I remember correctly. I didn’t realize that when I composed “Neopets by Candelight.”
So here is my new effort. What’s more peaceful than mirepoix? Mirepoix is a traditional French culinary combination of onions, carrots and celery aromatics. It’s the base of the comfort food pyramid in my house.
Beautifully done! Didn’t know the fancy name for soup ingredients… Now on to assignment cztery!
