Leaves and a Split Pomegranate
The dried twigs replaced by living foliage spilling from the bottle necks, with dewdrops, a beetle and a fly rendered in fine sable detail.
How this was made
This piece began with a photograph and a written instruction. Both are kept, so the record is complete rather than flattering.
THE PROMPT AND THE SETTINGS
PROMPT
POSITIVE: Repaint this still life as a Rachel Ruysch Dutch oil painting, c. 1710. A group of clear glass bottles on a stone table against a deep dark brown-black ground, but replace the dried twigs with living foliage: lush green leaves, curling tendrils and a few blooming flowers spilling from the bottle necks in a loose asymmetric diagonal sweeping from lower left up to upper right. A ripe pomegranate split open beside them, its ruby seeds rendered jewel-like and glistening. Remove the red gel lighting; use a soft directional light emerging from darkness. Botanically exact naturalist observation: precise leaf veins, dewdrops beaded on glass and petals, a small beetle on the stone and a fly on a leaf. Rich deep greens, crimson, amber gold, cream and dark umber. Meticulous fine sable detail, smooth enamel-like layered glazes on canvas, luminous against darkness, aged varnish. NEGATIVE: (none)
