Thanksgiving Still Life

Cornucopia
The cornucopia, also called the horn of
plenty, was a symbol of abundance and nourishment,
commonly a large horn-shaped container
overflowing with produce, flowers or nuts.
A still life is a work of art depicting mostly
inanimate subject matter, typically
commonplace objects which are either natural
or man-made.

black paper.
