(14) Modern Old

 

 I had kept some magazine pages about this incredible American painter Madeline von Foerster, a Californian, born 1973, who specializes in Flemish-style still lives with a fantasy twist, always including nature elements. I found these truly mind blowing in their accuracy, arrangement and uniqueness of chosen objects.

The painting above is called "Ex Mare", pretty straight forward. Don't we all collect things from the beach, but to have a live seagull, now that is funny.  There is just so much to discover and there are simply fun to stare at or trying to figure out the a WHY.

The "flowers" (left) are all inset eating plants. Good luck, dragon fly!  Down below is the "Orchid Cabinet"

I switched the magazine pages with Von Foersters works after a while, we are too spoiled with variety.
