Still Lifes

Artists have been painting scenes of objects for a long time. The painting above of strawberries was discovered in ancient Pompeii. It was covered by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 0079.
Still lifes use everyday objects positioned in common scenes. They are really a study of light, color and texture.
