Hi Ray , I definitely would not call this a still life! There's a lot of action going on here.Looks like a party was going on with all those champagne glasses. I see faces in there. I see them as party goers having one heck of a night! You can conjure up a lot of stories with this image. I can even see what I perceive as a robin next to that face in the middle. Love the colors and how the image really makes you use your imagination. Very interesting! Good Luck in the contest! :o) Nancy

Brian, Thank you for your fine review. As far as I know there no specific rules for still life or art in general. I like it wide open and different is good. Ray

Comment from Jewell McChesney
Still Life... interesting. I think this is the most unusual "still life" image I have ever seen! A huge pile of champagne glasses, bowls and cups with a face peeking out.
A contemplative piece to me. This could be titled, Demise of The Alcoholic.
See how you are, Ray? You got me thinking, here.
I am truly fascinated.
So about this goodbye you said in December.... Uh huh... ;)

Jewell, You see thats what art is all about, the non verbal message and inspiration that is exchanged. That's what you get from art. I will explain about the goodbye, Ray

Comment from avmurray
I think this must be the strangest still life I have ever seen, and when I looked at it from a distance, I first thought this was a set up of flowers in a bowl. But having a closer look I could see both glasses and small bowls, and even I face in the center. And a little mouse at the bottom right.
I also like the dark background and the frame you have added to hold the composition together. I like the way all the different items are outlined in black or white.
The tall format works well, and the still life has got a fine centered position. Indeed a great looking and well done abstract painting Ray.

Spectacular still life presentation Ray!
The soft, spring like colors are showing so nicely against the green background. The huge accumulation of the almost equal size blooms is so creative and the overall presentation is pleasing to the eye.

Comment from alaskapat
This is awesome Ray, I can see that you have put a lot of time and thought into this bouquet of 2025. I see the champagne glasses and beer glasses , a bowl , lots of faces, coffee cups and fruit, there are even a few flowers. It's like a celebration ! I like the green wooden container that holds it all.
Very well created, I like the hidden objects and faces, this makes me think of the pages that ask you to find certain things hidden.
I like the colors you have used here.
Very well arranged and presented! This was fun to view!

Comment from Kathy Banich
This abstract piece is both intriguing and delightful, filled with a myriad of fascinating elements that draw the viewer in. As I gaze at it, I am transported to a scene of joyous celebration. The composition resembles a flowering pot blooming with various wine and cocktail glasses, each contributing to the festivity. Upon closer inspection, I can discern several faces, adding a playful quality to the artwork. The soft pastel colors of pink, blue, and purple further enhance the piece, evoking a feeling of lighthearted fun and whimsy. This artwork not only captures the eye but also sparks the imagination, making it a truly captivating and joyful creation.
