Still Life with Open Drawer

Still Life with Open Drawer (1879):


by Paul Cezanne, who died on October 22, 1906.

My own still life is quite different, though more seasonal:


The owl's name is Arthur, and that's Spice Tea for the cup. You can see the recipe for the tea mix in this post from early 2014. That was also a T Stands for Tuesday post. That weekly blogger gathering is an ongoing event. Please join me at this week's edition. Share a drink in your post and leave a link there.

  1. Arthur is quite dapper. Your Spice Tea sounds a bit like Constant Comment tea which was my MIL's favorite. Have a Happy T Day!

    1. I love Constant Comment tea and always keep it on hand. This spice tea is very sweet, and I never sweeten the Constant Comment.

  4. I quite like your seasonal still life. The cup and saucer is familiar looking. Fiesta? Or some some other mid century pottery? The owl adds a smile to the whole display

  14. Very appropriate to have something by Cezanne. I like your still life too. Arthur is adorable. You spice tea sound nice and I looked at the recipe but we dan't have Tang here or any other instant drink. My spice teas are usually a mix of chai spices.
    A belated happy T-Day,
    Hugs,

  17. I'm a huge fan of Cezanne. I love all impressionists, but he was one (along with Pizarro) that I liked the most. I simply adore your interpretation of this still life. You have done T day proud, dear. Thanks for sharing it with us for T this week, even though I'm late seeing it.
