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.

Soft and delicious, but pricey (but worth it if you care about health)
Flavor Name: Venison Sticks - Original
Ugh, I wish these weren't so pricey, but I know it's because of the high-quality and I really do care about that. I'm willing to pay a bit more of grass-fed and finished meat. And these are the perfect quick snack. They're delicious, they're not hard and impossible to bite/chew like some meat sticks, and they give you clean nutrition. I didn't find them particularly greasy either. The packaging is impossible to open, but I wonder if I got a bad set - all of them are fully sealed at the top where normally there are two pieces so that you can peel the package open. All of mine require scissors to cut open which is frustrating but not the end of the world. Again, not sure if that's standard packaging or just a flaw on the ones I got. In any case, they are great and I have already repurchased!

DELISH
Flavor Name: Beef Sticks - Jalapeño
My entire family LOVES these meat sticks. You can taste the freshness. The texture is meaty, No greasy film, no nasty ingredients. I was sold after reading about the fermentation process of these meat sticks. Excellent flavor. I’ll never stop eating these. Jalapeño are my favorite, they aren’t too spicy.

Ten star quality and hands down the best I've ever had
Flavor Name: Venison Sticks - Original
I had a health practitioner suggest I increase protein intake and add in some game meats (venison, bison, elk) along with beef. I found Paleo Valley venison and beef sticks as a great solution to add these to my diet without a big bite in my budget. Paleo Valley provides several beef sticks that are all tasty and will appeal to a variety of consumer preferences though my personal favorite is the venison. All their sources are grass fed and finished, pasture raised and finished. You can instantly taste the difference in quality with your first bite. The sticks are firm and moist, nicely flavored and are simple to carry around as a quick snack or extra protein boost. I found I have less interest in sugary or carb-filled snacks by eating a quality protein source. Many other brands I've tried are hard, dry, heavily spiced and don't really taste natural. Not so with Paleo Valley. As a company, I found them to be very health conscious and have other supplements available, along with really useful educational tips for a healthier lifestyle. I think it's important to leave good reviews when I find something that's exceptional quality and Paleo Valley fits that bill.

BEST GLUTEN FREE BEEF STICKS!
Flavor Name: Beef Sticks - Original
I have bought these mulitple times and now have decided to become a monthly subscriber. I love the fact of the "natural" ingredients, these are truly GLUTEN FREE with no hidden ingredients. The taste is amazing and has the perfect amount of spices, not to much but by NO means bland either. They are always fresh and last a long time. They are never dry, not one single time.

Half a bad batch?
Flavor Name: Venison Sticks - Original
Unsure if I got a bad batch, ill explain why I gave it a 3. First four I had had the consistency of a banana and just tasted extremely off. It was oily, greasy, and the texture was just not something I ever experienced, and ive had venison/beef sticks before. It was pretty disgusting I brought them to work to ensure they didnt go to waste and kept one The one I had was perfect flavor, texture, non greasy and exactly what I had expected. Checked with the coworkers I shared them with and theirs were fine. It leads me to believe maybe it was a bad batch? If they were all like the first few id say 0 stars, if they were all like the last id say 5
