The Simple Life



Still Life with Rose Wall and Compote, 1973 by William Bailey, Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.

Bailey still lifes are among my favorites. The simplicity appeals to me and the compositions look random, but you can tell are studied.

So glad you're feeling better.

I enjoy the composition, too. It could be quite boring, actually, except for that bit of tension created by implying that an egg just might be in the process of rolling off the table. It made me smile.
