Déjà Vu
Pears and a Pot, 11 x 14, oil on linen, 2008
Not really sure what to put in for Illustration Friday this week. The theme is Déjà Vu, the feeling that you have already experienced a moment which is currently happening. Who hasn't felt this, but it seems a tough concept to handle visually. This comes close, I think, to expressing that feeling that creeps up on you... a concealed memory projected onto the present moment. A little unnerving!

This is lovely!
wow, what a beautiful painting!
I love how you have thought about how to represent the theme. ''i've seen that pear before''!! .
Lovely painting, and beautiful colours.
I hope to have a few deja-vus seeing your beautiful still life again and again.

Gorgeous painting and your description of deja-vu really strikes home.
Wow, this is great! So realistic it looks like a photo! Happy New Year to you! :)
Wonderful work! Well done!
Saw your lovely evocative painting on Women Painting Women.
Love this one as well. If a pear could remember, would that pear experience such deja vu?
Very cool take on the topic Nancy... and so well done!
I think you portrayed the theme perfectly - so beautiful!
It's beautiful Nancy!
Exquisite painting, Nancy!
beautiful painting!
This is such a beautiful painting.
and beautiful colors.
It's amazing how you've captured a sensation in an abstract way.
Your art is beautiful! I can't draw or paint to save my life, but I love the way artists translate images from their minds onto paper.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
