Thread Name: BS: Your 6 items for a still-life
Subject: RE: BS: Your 6 items for a still-life
Well, I'd have a hand (1) comin' in from the left side with pen (2) writing in a "I love you_________... See you tonight..." on a scrap of paper (3). Above the scrap of paper would be a rose (4) lying at a bottom right to upper left for composition with the hand's direction intersecting. Under the rose a cloth napkin (5) that extends off the top right portions of the scetch. with some contrasting folds with just a portion of one of it's corners overlapping the scrap of paper. The finish off the still life a crumpled scrap of paper (6) somewhere in the upper left area for balance and symbolism.

Now you know why I drove my professors nuts when I was in art school...
