Gourd Black and White is a still life photograph emphasizing the simple beauty of shape in light and shadow.
A still life is an artwork that uses inanimate materials for the most part. Quite often, the objects are commonplace. They may from the natural world, like plants, flowers, rocks or shells or man-made like books, vases, or coins. The still life painting first emerged as a Western genre art form in the 16th century and is still popular to this day...
A gourd is one of the earliest domesticated plants, commonly discovered at archaeological sites. Some of these sites date back 13,000 years in Asia, Africa and Peru. The bottle gourd is the most common gourd found at these ancient sites
Gourds are from the family Cucurbitaceae, which includes softer shell plants like pumpkins, melons, cucumbers and squash.
Along with being a food source, the hard, shallow shell of the dehydrated gourd served as tools, dishes, utensils, bottles, birdhouses and objects of art....

Creating portals of light, love, joy, beauty, compassion, hope and gratitude is my lifelong passion and purpose. My mother painted when i was young and encouraged drawing and painting and handcrafting in all forms and my father, the photographer, gave me my first camera at age 8. As a result, i have been a lifelong student of both mediums. Formal training of my eye and technique has been with the wonderful Pacific NW painter teachers, Stan Capon and Edi Olson. i hope you will enjoy these images as much as i enjoyed their creation.
