Holly Cawfield replied

Awww…thanks Jan! These are the exact colours in my kitchen so this might be the one I finally get printed and hung. :-)
Carolyn Staut

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah! Holly, you are seated on the throne of Still Life! Ohhhh, this is absolutely beautiful! You DO tell a story here with the cracked eggs, the porcelain like shells, the rooster/chicken looking at the bowl of eggs. Love the lights and textures, why everything about it. May I be Pres of your fan club?
Holly Cawfield replied

LoL ….LoL…..thanks Carolyn!! :-D What a wonderfully enthusiastic and encouraging comment!!!! Can’t stop grinning!!! :-D :-D
Kate Adams

I’m also joining your fan club!!!..another beauty!!!.. I don’t have any idea how you do this but it’s fabulous.
Holly Cawfield replied

Thank you so much Kate!

(it was 6 hours, lots of layers and even more experimenting)
hardhhhat

Wow these layers are working really well on your shots you seems to be able to find the right stuff for the right shot although I guess there is a lot of work going on in the background. You are making them look effortless which is what is needed to produce such great piece’s – great lighting too and inventive title :) it’s not quite the crack here but early .
Holly Cawfield replied

What a great comment HH….thank you so much for that! This one has 7 layers of texture. I’ve been studying the textures for layers that are available and then making my own from scratch with brushes and light (from the render filter)....and a photograph of plain wall paint with the macro lens. It’s amazing how much texture there is in paint that’s been rolled on the wall.

Neat how the cracks in the porcelain glaze match the cracks in the shells. Beautiful light and colours.

I don’t know what it is about the brown eggs…but every pic I have seen using them is always fabulous…they must reflect the light well or something…but this is just another beautiful still life!!
