What Steve Put on the Mantel in Front of Still Life

Blog Post from 12/20/2009 14 years ago

Deborah McLaren’s still life pis one I purchased at the PERSAD Celebrate Life Celebrate Art auction at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh last May. The other day I sat at the table, looked up and saw Steve’s additions to the decor. He has been purchasing RITZ crackers frequently since I bought the painting, subliminal influence? I wrote to the artist for her permission to post the image of her painting along with his props. Steve’s fun additions- the unexpected sight of them in front of the still life- I laughed out loud! How to make life fun!

  1. Ritz Crackers and Lamb Chop comes to mind. Do you remember Shari Lewis and her hand puppet Lamb Chop?

  2. I absolutely love this. Before having C, my husband and I would set up little scenes with sock monkeys once every week or so. Discovering them was such a joy!

Thanks for your visit. It's always good to hear you stopped by.
