Tribbles with Still Life, original upcycled vintage painting

"Tribbles with Still Life"

It was no tribble at all upcycling this painting! Fluffy, gentle, loveable, and mortal enemies to Klingons… gotta love tribbles!

These still life paintings with fruit and wine have been mass produced to the point of market saturation... but they originated hundreds of years ago, when there were hidden meanings in the arrangement. For instance, the more opulent the spread, the more it reflected on one's wealth. A piece of moldy bread or rotten fruit would signify one's mortality. 

Adding tribbles with their incredible appetite to this beautiful spread of fruits only means one thing... a guarantee that shortly there will be no food left at all! Had this been a real still life with tribbles, the artist would have had to paint it very quickly before the tribbles devoured everything and there was no fruit left to paint!

Unframed : This is a common size and would be easy to find a frame to fit it. Wired and ready to display. I’ve mocked up an example photo with a simple white frame as an example.
