Languorous female characters in Greek myths with Russian officials had not made the proper impression, though it wanted because of the quality of work. But selling is probably bad.
   It is like still life with a parrot. More than a parrot and a monkey, because the latter, a light background and therefore still lifes become overly staged. Although Rachel Ruysch, too, portrayed such light niches, but it is good that a little.
  Even a little bit and still lifes of the old masters can be changed to yours. There are not enough to this action, in my opinion, some raisins, a special zest. It may require less natural, more artistic distortions, exaggerations of individual moments or fragments. Interested in hearing your thoughts on this subject, obviously you are thinking more and maybe something I did not notice.
  Now we have to wait for a still life of fruit abundance and fruit with some crazy squirrels and birds bargain (live).

Fed,
Now among artists of the genre "Dutch" still life are negative, it is believed that the artist does these things not from the soul, but for the sake of petty-bourgeois philistine tastes so sim difficulty of attracting bread. This view contributes to a huge number
copies of the Dutch bouquets of poor quality made by mediocre artists and amateurs.
'This genre is not deserved discredited.
I have a different opinion and a different attitude to the still lifes of old masters.
Since my childhood I admired the Dutch 17th century., Their still lifes produced
great impression on me.
When I graduated from the institute for me, finally, it emerged during happy poizuchat masters of Holland. They're not just beautiful flowers there ... whole mathematics of their location in the format canvas ... harmony ... and this harmony is the pattern.
I am by what I lacked understanding, tried to get into their world.
The fruit of study and these are my work. For every great still life spent working for 2-3 months. It was difficult ... but I'm in the process a lot for themselves understood and worked from the heart.
Theme-a series of still-life I am now just left and I do what I'm interested in now. Maybe in the future again turn to the still life subjects and
make a number of other ... with a twist.
Let's see ... can we have different notions about raisins .:)
With regard to "light background" and "overly staged", it is good or bad the question of individual perception of each looking at a picture ...
