3 Green Jugs

There I was in this store, just browsing and admiring, yes more gadgets.  But mostly to see where were decorator trends going.  My creative juices are running dry.  I need to be inspired by ‘NEW’ – ‘DIFFERENT’ – ‘CURRENT TRENDS’
After all, as an artist, we must think like this.  If we are to create decorative art, it needs to follow the fashion.  Makes it such a disposable art form, doesn’t it?  The proof of this is a constant reminder of much loved and admired old paintings by excellent artists just sitting in a corner of the art studio.  What a shame.  But these works, just simply do not suit the current decor, the current design of the house, the current life style.  You must know what I mean.  I feel shamed.

Now back to this particular day.  I had no heavy photographic equipment, just my phone.  Mind you, if I had have dug out my DSLR I would have been swiftly stopped by one of the sales staff or sure.  Bless you phone.
So without much further ado, I managed to capture this image on the left.  What drew me to this image?  No not the 3 green jugs, but rather the tree behind.  I am always seeking tree foliage and branches to utilise or inspire me in my creative work.  The irony of it all, it was the  3 little green jugs that would steal the show at the end.  That is the beauty of the progression of being creative, working and pushing the limits in thought and ideas.
