Wow! That arrangement has some serious visual "pop!" The addition of the colored glass really brought out the natural colors of the fruit, and placing the banana in the old Mason jar highlighted it.

The broken green glass - what was it originally?

This is why you are such an artist with a camera - I'd have never thought of combining the elements you did for a photo. Impressive, I say!

Jeffro, wow, thanks so much! I enjoy playing around like that when I can find the time. I don't know what the glass is...I think it is two separate things. I found it out in the yard. I love bits of colored glass and deeply colored old bottles and the like and I save all that I find. I would love to know what the little handle thingy is.

Now I call that creative! Super job, and well done. :)

Ed said...

Very cool, I like that you got the blue rooster into the shot..:-)

flowerweaver said...

Nice! Love the little glass rooster!

June said...

Really colorful...something I need these days!
I'll bet the green glass thing is part of an old electric insulator.

PS...I bet you thought about putting an apple or two into that jar, didn't you?

Shirley said...

Nicely done (love the blue rooster for contrast) and sure a welcome change to see some color after looking at your posts of all the snow you got! Man, did it snow! Haven't seen a snowfall like that in recent years here; probably in 10 years. That's a lovely colorful calf too, glad it is ok after the breech birth.

Very nice....all I could find is one lousy apple and a wizened up orange. I love the rooster!

colleen said...

Far Side of Fifty said...

great still life..I also love your blue rooster..:)

Brenda said...

now that was thinking outside the box! very creative!

joated said...

lovely colors, indeed. Makes me hungry. Canned bananas?

threecollie said...

Dibear, thanks so much

Ed, thanks, he is quite a pet

FW, thanks, he is a gift from my mom and lives on the kitchen window sill

June, thanks, I think you are right about the bigger piece. I have always thought that that is probably what it is...the little piece I wonder about, haven't come up with any guesses yet.

Shirley, thanks! This snow business has sure been depressing. One week we have robins and the birds are singing and next week, wham,it's back to winter full force. Not liking it much

Linda, thanks...and what you did with that one lousy apple was pure genius..incredible!

Colleen, thanks, I couldn't resist adding some elements, since anything resembling fruit is in pretty short supply around here this time of year

Laughing Orca, thanks, this was a puzzle due to the season so....

gttyup, thanks, I had to dig out the last of the wizened up apples..not much fruit here just now.

Lori, call it desperation. Any fruit in season that shows up here is generally eaten long before the camera can catch it. lol

OE, thanks for visiting and thanks for your very kind words!

the egggather, thank you! I didn't know that you painted...do you have pics of your pics? I will have to come looking..

Far Side, thanks, I love blue glass and he is especially dear because my mom gave him to me

Brenda, thanks, it isn't fruit time here so I had to make do with a pretty short supply

Joated, thanks, canned bananas sound nasty don't they? But I love that old jar. It belonged to my late mother in law and it seems to set off whatever I put in it, whether it is rooting geraniums or spring daffodils.

Very cool! Love the banana.
