When the weather is inclement, wet or very, very dull, Still Life is a way to delight in some colour. What better place is there to find it, than in the kitchen in the preparation of some comfort food; or to root out some forgotten items from a closet or box before passing them on to some other future, hence enlivening a memory (hopefully a good one) once more. Indulging in some imported colour from the floral department at the grocery store can uplift one’s spirits when January brings only 3 days of sunshine. My preference is always Nature, but these solutions will do.
