I found this bowl at an estate auction many years ago and it has graced my kitchen table for years. In spring it holds fresh fruit, in autumn it holds all kinds of squash and in winter it is filled with ornate decorative brown balls. For Christmas this year I may fill it with some willow balls that I found at Home Sense.
Getting a photo of a bowl of fruit turned out to be quite the challenge for me. Also, I couldn’t decide whether or not to show the side of the bowl that had been ‘mended’ and finally and obviously I did decide to show it.
Now I’m heading over to the Cafe to see what everyone has created. Happy Texture Tuesday!
I used two layers of serendipity and two layers of not too shabby. I also desaturated the photo.
I love your rustic old bowl! And this is a lovely photo with beautiful texture work.
This looks like an old world painting!!! Beautiful!!!
Love the textures on this image Barb . . . . . .lovely work, Teresa x
Oh Barb, this is so pretty. Very rustic in feel. Warm. Yummy. I love it. :)
Wonderful still life photo…and they are tough to shot. Just one thing out of place or not appropriate can ruin the picture and somethings are easy to overlook. I really like this!
i like it – and the mended part too!
That looks so inviting, Barb. Love the fact you showed the mend — it’s real. :)
Wonderful texture work on the fruits of the earth. Great !
What a lovely bowl, mend and all!
love the patina of that bowl and it looks so beautiful filled with the fruit!
What a great still life! I want to do more of them myself. Great work with the texture.
Still life is hard isn’t it – like when you’re photographing people/animals you just wish they could be still and stay in the place you want them, and then you get something doing exactly that but you’re not sure how you want it to be!! I love the look of your bowl. Thanks for sharing how you manage your texture edits – you have the flair for it that’s for sure.
I love texture work on still lifes. And your’s is beautiful.

Bardzo ładne zdjęcie owoców w “powróconym do życia” pucharze. Nie potrafię jeszcze robić tekstur :-(, ale może się nauczę :-).
Dziękuję za miły komentarz u mnie. Pozdrawiam ciepło
What a cool bowl, Barb, and a beautiful image! I’m glad you showed the mend; it gives it more character. Hope your Thanksgiving is a good one.
This is truly a bowl of beautiful bounty! ;-) Love that texture, too.
That is a great bowl and photo. Bowl fillers are really getting popular. Maybe they have been popular and I’m just catching on…ha!
nice texture work … have a great Thanksgiving!
