Thank you so much for the compliment :) Yeah, I presume that was the case. When I was studying at the atelier, they had several closets filled with random objects used for still lifes. There was a lot that was clearly very old.
This reminds me of something that my teacher always told me. She use to say that ultimately subject matter had very little to do with what makes a great work of art. You can take what would appear to be just some random object or moment, and when placed under the right kind of light can appear to be something that is timeless.
This is true in creative writing as well; one of my aims is always to illuminate the mundane.
