The grand schoolmaster of painting is still life. Within the implements of the creation of a still life set up lies the shine of silver, the glow of light on glass, the colors and fluid movements of nature and, of utmost importance, the absolute complete still in the stillness of the life in front of the aspiring artist. Learning light and shadow, cool against warm, from the sunflower. Squint as long as you need, the model never moves. Feathers on a stuffed bird, or learning your scales from a fish out of water, no hurry, it will be much the same in an hour or two. There are principles to be learned in art without which no brilliance of creativity can reach its pinnacle.

Invention has a hard go without information and skill. Drawing, values of color, cool against warm, composition, where and how the shapes are placed, edges, textures, and on and on. Ergo, still life. Draw ellipses until they are perfect every time, because the plate never moves. Practice how to handle shadows in yellow on a sunflower until you have discovered the secrets. So still life teaches all the principles and can do it from the security of a kitchen table. Ovanes Berberian, who I admiringly call the Sorolla of our time, has been my mentor in the genius of what can be accomplished while learning the above named skills. The beauty of creation in flowers and fruit and the beauty of other artisans in silver and crystal and pottery that man makes, can be breathtaking when arranged in patterns of shapes and color harmonies that describe them uniquely.

Folds of cloth and shadows of the leaves as the sun shafts through can move us to tears as we become familiar with how to use our paint to depict them on a two dimensional surface. Grandma's spoons or her silver tea set can become immortal. Yes, photographs hold still but their colors are seriously lacking, plus they have little ability to fire within us an adrenaline rush as real objects in stillness can and do. So look closely at this body of still life paintings, picking up on the intensity of color, the looseness of shape, the cool colors making the warm ones sing. Just enjoy the tactical variation and decide for yourself how the Schoolmaster has broadened with practicing this artist's abilities.

Good for dc power supplies
Size: 6ft, Color: Yellow, Size: 6ft, Color: Yellow
The AC outlets are very snug. I’m using this primarily for battery tenders and battery chargers; the outlets are spaced far enough apart to fit the dc power supplies and they stay in place even when mounted horizontally.

As good or better than most.
Size: 4ft, Color: Silver
I was very happy with this item. It’s very heavy duty and appears to be something that will last me forever.

Cheap, looks good and works good
Size: 13"-32", Style: Dual Arms
Mostly painless install, packaging was subpar but everything works well. Holds a 27" monitor and a 24" monitor very well. Adjustable angles and hinges allowing for customization for your needs. Seems to be very sturdy and hasn't dropped since making sure everything is tight. Overall, worth it compared to more expensive options.

Sturdy, Extremely Adjustable, and Saves Huge Desk Space!
Size: 17"-49", Style: Single Arm
This WALI monitor mount is incredibly solid and handles the weight of my monitor easily without any sagging or shaking. The gas spring arm moves fluidly, making it super easy to adjust the height, angle, and tilt whenever I need to. Installation was straightforward with clear instructions, and it has freed up so much valuable desk space. Excellent build quality for a great price!

Solid Mount for a Large Monitor
Size: 17"-49", Style: Single Arm
Picked this up to mount a single 37" monitor to my adjustable desk and it’s been working great. The arm feels sturdy and holds the weight of the monitor without sagging or drifting over time. Installation was pretty straightforward and it gave me a lot more desk space compared to using the factory stand. It also moves smoothly when adjusting the monitor position or changing desk height. If you’re running a larger display on a standing desk setup, this is a solid option that feels much more substantial than some of the cheaper monitor arms out there.
