Accidental Still Life

"Moroccan Bowl"

Sometimes I arrange things so that they form a suitable composition for a still life, and sometimes I just find one. When my husband and I married and moved our stuff into one apartment, we suddenly had three fruit bowls, but they were all nice enough to keep.
Even with three bowls, we sometimes have more fruit and things in the house than they can hold. My Moroccan bowl was filled to the brim with plums, tomatoes, apples, pears and a lemon. Walnuts are drying in the shell in another bowl, and the third holds a pile of papers that we just can't seem to find a suitable place for.
