Still-life sunflowers

By Petra Pavlátková 2019-09-30 2019-09-30  flowers, still life

When the left part of your brain is tired of all the thinking and planning and worrying, it might help to leave it to its own destiny and ask the right creative part to work miracles. The miracles may not be that awesome as you might wish them to be …

Pink inspired (again)

By Petra Pavlátková 2019-05-15 2019-09-07  flowers, still life

Here and there I buy a small bunch of flowers to decorate my kitchen for a few days and the other day I chose pink roses. They looked fresh and fragile and I loved them but just after two days their stems bent down and the flowers were fading almost …

Pink hen and flowers

By Petra Pavlátková 2019-04-19 2019-09-07  my reflections, still life, triptych

A few weeks ago, when I was thinking about what kind of photos I would like to focus on this year, I was thinking about returning to still life and its creativity. A few days ago, when I was thinking about spring and Easter, I was thinking about creating something …

Rudbeckia counterbalance

By Petra Pavlátková 2017-09-05 2019-09-07  flowers, my reflections, still life

On Monday, a new school year started here which meant that last week I spent quite a few hours by shopping. Everything the school asked to get for lessons such as exercise books and pencils, watercolours and brushes, but also clothes and shoes as my 13 year old son is …

Time of lilacs

By Petra Pavlátková 2017-05-10 2019-09-07  flowers, lilac, still life

I saw first lilacs burst into flower about two weeks ago and it seems that the lilac that we have in our garden follows the lead at last and starts to open its buds. I still have a few still-life photos featuring the lilac that I took last May so now it …

My word for the year

By Petra Pavlátková 2017-01-04 2019-09-07  my reflections, still life, word for the year

It’s been my practice lately to pick a word at the end of the year that will accompany me throughout the following year and will help me to focus on some aspect of my life that needs to be improved, changed or thought over. I can tell you that it’s …

Lilac and wooden birdie

By Petra Pavlátková 2016-07-01 2019-09-07  flowers, lilac, out of place, still life, tetraptych

Some time ago I took a photo of cut hydrangea in a vase placed by quite an ugly window, you could see it in my post Out of place. I decided to use the same vase and the same window for another out-of-place photo, this time with lilac and a …

Apple inspiration

By Petra Pavlátková 2016-05-23 2019-09-07  apples, food, still life

The other day I was peeling apples and their shapes and colours caught my attention. I brought my apron (that I like but rarely use), picked a few leaves of lemon balm that grew in a pot on my window sill and played with my camera for a while. This …

Charm of the faded

By Petra Pavlátková 2016-04-27 2019-09-07  flowers, still life, tulips

Back in March I was capturing books and tulips and I tried several settings. I shared some of the photos in my previous posts Books and tulips and Yellow and blue. There was one more setting though and today I’d like to share some images it brought. The titles of …

Yellow and blue

By Petra Pavlátková 2016-03-09 2019-09-07  books, flowers, still life, tulips

I love combination of yellow and blue and I used it in another set of photos with books. The first and second photos feature a fantasy novel by Jules Verne “The Secret of Wilhelm Storitz”. It’s an old book and I love all the illustrations it contains. I read it …
