  5. Love Conkers Fall

    These aren’t the spiky horse chestnuts I grew up with in Poland, but they sometimes have more than one seed per pod, so they don’t match the distinctive California Buckeye that grows wild here. They grow as street trees in my neighborhood and I collect them every year, filling my pockets or bags like a child—except unlike a child no one asks me to empty my pockets of conkers (as I witnessed happening to a neighborhood girl when I went out for this haul).

  6. One wall of my living room. Almost everything here has a very personal story, it's the only way I know how to live.

  7. "Still Life with Golden Bream," Francisco Goya, 1808-12.

    Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) is one of the all-time greats. When painting portraits, he could communicate a lot about the sitter while still depicting them more-or-less fairly. But he was also an exceptional caricaturist who ruthlessly dissected human foibles. He could paint historical works but also do works that were sharply critical of the times he was in. And he also produced many bizarre works that seem to be his savage depictions of human fears.

    What he was NOT known for was still lifes, and the ones by him can be counted on one's fingers.

    Here we have some fish in a heap by the shore. At just a glance, it seems normal, but bear in mind this was painted during the Peninsular War, when Napoleon was invading Spain and fighting was all over. Then those goggling fish eyes take on a sense of pathos. It's a heap of the dead, left on the seashore, sacrificed by a desire for conquest.

    That's how good Goya was. He can paint a still life of fish and turn it into a commentary on war.

  8. Here's a likely #YoungTimer internet find, which could be titled

    "Automobile Still Life"

    And it also serves very well for a #NameThatCarChallenge.

    (Please post any guesses or hints with a content warning, so that others can do their own guesses, too. Thanks!)

  9. "Still Life of Flowers in a Basket on a Stone Ledge," Jan Brueghel the Younger, 17th century.

    Brueghel (1601-1678) was from a great artistic family; his father was Jan Brueghel the Elder (of course), and his grandfather was Pieter Brueghel the Elder, both exceptional Flemish painters of the Renaissance. Jan the Younger was of the Baroque period, having taken over his father's workshop at a young age, and developing his own style.

    He didn't do as many still lifes and florals as his father, but here's one of his most delightful. A lovely jumble of flowers is presented to us in a basket, with tulips, roses, cornflowers, lily-of-the-valley, and other, but Brueghel makes it balanced and harmonious amid all the jumble, rather than a cacophony.

    Happy Flower Friday!

  10. One of the things I really enjoy doing is trying to finish images with a few different looks to see what variety of ideas they can communicate. Most of the time, only one version ever sees the light of day. Here’s another look at the “SilentSunday” post from yesterday. This was my first (and typical) take on it but I thought it was better for #MonochromeMonday or maybe #MoodyMonday.

  11. "Still Life with Fruit and a Pumpkin," Jeanne Marie Joséphine Hellemans, 1830.

    Hellemans was a Belgian painter of the early 19th century, who specialized in ornate still lifes. Her work is very much a throwback to the 17th Century Dutch styles; unusual in a time when Europe's art world was teetering on the brink of Impressionism.

    It's hard to believe Thanksgiving is next week!
