I have been thinking a lot about the fleeting nature of life lately. It reminds me a lot of the Dutch masters of the 17th century and their representation of life and decay through still life paintings. Even in the stillness, impermanence reigns. There is no escaping it; we must choose to enjoy its beauty in this moment. Thus, I have been moved to embark on my own still life journey, a sort of contemporary take on the Dutch Golden Age. I hope you will find it as inspiring as I do.
