Once I started researching the Dutch Master Still Life paintings I became fascinated by them and their place in history. Pieter Claesz, Willem Kalf and David Bailly were the artists that most captured my imagination. I soon found I could read the narratives buried within their paintings and found the messages still resonate hundreds of years later.
The Dutch Masters also delighted in amazing the viewers with their virtuoso skills at creating paintings that perfectly imitated real life. With photographs becoming such a commodity today, and technology making it possible for anyone to take a passably good image, I find it rewarding to create photographs that look like master paintings.
