I may just be high, but I think I accidentally made shitty food art

Peanut butter and homemade rose jelly on sourdough
tobydiah@reddit
I like that you complemented your homemade jelly with Great Value peanut butter.
MarzipanPlane9490@reddit
Heavenly🤤
KappaBETTING@reddit
shitty? bro this is beautiful, the way to spread the peanut butter and jam? thats PEAK TECHNIQUE right there brother
misstiffie@reddit
Classy
SpeghtittyOs@reddit
Could be an oil painting
TheDabberwocky@reddit
Nah the way that jelly is glistening looks absolutely immaculate.
I'm also high tho
Kolthejoker@reddit
I feel like the way the organisation is in addition to the specific way that the light enters the area makes the photo shine like one of those really big paintings people will do so that when you back up (or zoom out in digital art).
I am also high tho too
primofilly59@reddit
Stone cold sober… looks like liquid ruby.
Road_Whorrior@reddit
I just hit the pen but I also agree
saladman425@reddit
Will be hitting my pen in a couple hours, still looks incredible
creatyvechaos@reddit
Hitting my pen rn before I laint. Decided I'll use this as my next study
MO05E@reddit (OP)
Hell yeah! I’m honored! Would love to see how it comes out!
TheEyeDontLie@reddit
I'm tapping a pen on a notepad so I look busy
derf_desserts@reddit
I'm on-call for work and cannot hit the pen. Definitely not shitty.
icedragon9791@reddit
Same
ComplexTechnician@reddit
Also high but not enough to ignore the Island of Transparent Sadness near the center. I find the lack of uniformity disturbing.

Keji70gsm@reddit
I thought jelly was a play on "jam".. What the fuck, that is actual jelly.
Chewbaccabb@reddit
See, for me, it’s the butter-knife lines on the peanut butter. High def shit
I am not high yet

Great example of composition over subject.

Same here! I was like this is way too beautiful to not be in that sub.
Little_Messiah@reddit
Came to comment this
CockamouseGoesWee@reddit
Actually more Baroque because of the tenebrism and the fact that still life subjects were taken more seriously then.
johnthancersei@reddit
^^^ this picture belongs here
4llu532n4m3srt4k3n@reddit
Yeah, that jam is far too fancy for sfp
IllvesterTalone@reddit
although the Great Value pb...
IrisSmartAss@reddit
Yeah, but it's on white bread, so that lowered the quality factor. Homemade rose jam deserves better than that.
EvilChefReturns@reddit
Could you please pass the allfruit
Worldly-Profession66@reddit
WOULD YOU PLEASE PASS THE JELLY
Nir117vash@reddit
You know the difference between jelly and jam?
EvilChefReturns@reddit
-dramatic fainting-
grandwizardcouncil@reddit
The Great Value-brand peanut butter makes up for it a little bit.
4llu532n4m3srt4k3n@reddit
Yeah its alright, dollar store peanut butter is def shitty food material though
sleepytipi@reddit
I only duck with jif and Skippy and I duck with it daily almost.
Alizay59@reddit
But not that shitty peanut butter 🤢
walkinmywoods@reddit
I also accidentally place jelly lid half on in an aesthetic manner instead of just capping it shut when I'm done with it. "Oh this accidental work of art my life seems to beeeee. " -op probably
johnthancersei@reddit
perhaps, some people just have a good eye for colors and framing naturally. some people are amateur photographers and they don’t even know it. it’s the “ooo this looks good” feeling

Saved for drawing reference. This does not look shitty. This just looks like plain, basic PBJ sandwich.

Can I oil paint this

Absolutely! ☺️

MO05E@reddit (OP)
I would be honored! ☺️
WhatTheOnEarth@reddit
My GOAT, plates are too much work to clean (sometimes). Paper towel supremacy for quick snacks.
MO05E@reddit (OP)
Exactly, why dirty a plate with just a few bread crumbs? Lol
emperiocist@reddit
Honestly, truly, this is quite a beautiful photograph! It reminds me of some of Mary Pratt's work (Canadian painter) - check out her Red Current Jelly and Smears of Jam paintings, it's reminiscent of this.
MO05E@reddit (OP)
Oh wow that’s awesome!!
MasterCrumble1@reddit
May I buy your photograph for 12 million euros, ples.

drake22@reddit
It's peanut butter and jelly, what's shitty about it?
apstevenso2@reddit
...on sourdough though...
MightBBlueovrU@reddit
Okay what the fuck makes people so crazy over sourdough? Pardon my language but i just dont get it . Ooh tangy bread.
Mapletables@reddit
tangy bread doesn't go good with the flavors of peanut butter and jelly
porksoda11@reddit
Thats just your opinion man. Ill eat a pb and j on sourdough, tastes good to me.
MightBBlueovrU@reddit
Hit me with a peanut butter and pickle sando. 😋
HauntedCS@reddit
A toasted sourdough english muffin PB&J is literally one of the best things ever. Sweet, savoury and tangy. No idea how someone could see that as bad.
porksoda11@reddit
I’ll put anything on sourdough, I love sourdough so much
Geno813@reddit
Yep
uiouyug@reddit
Plain, it's not great. It toasts up way better. The best for grilled cheeses.
aguavive@reddit
Takes longer to make so hipsters think it’s better for your gut or some shit.
It’s bomb though , sourdough toast with good Irish butter.
kawthrowaway@reddit
better for digestion
Lone-Frequency@reddit
He means the presentation.
It looks like the type of photo you'd see on a trendy food site...but it's just PB&J.
4624potatoes@reddit
This is actually a brilliant still life, I’m really impressed. The highlighting of the foreground, the angle of the shot, the composition with the jars and the plant for some variety; it’s genuinely nice to look at.
sillykittyball@reddit
Great still life, wonderful lighting. I also am high
harpyoftheshore@reddit
The composition is unironically gorgeous
leilanimoonstar@reddit
Feels like this should belong in accidental renaissance e
JedaMW@reddit
What’s in this “homemade rose jelly” you speak of?
shadow_dreamer@reddit
The interplay of light and contrast in this photo is fascinating, yeah! Mixed with the live plants, open jars, and generally cozy vibes-- I'm not sure renaissance is the right era I'd point at, but it does remind me of why we do the fruitbowl studies, as artists, in the first place.
And of course, finding the beauty in the mundane moments is an incredibly valuable skill; one you must already have some familiarity with to begin with, to have thought to take the picture in the first place.
All of that said, there's nothing shitty about this food porn, especially when that's homemade rose jam you outrageous motherfucker--- /fond
lauradorna@reddit
You are indeed high.
saturnsexual@reddit
I'm sober as fuck right now unfortunately and this is a very well presented still life. The way the light directs the eye to the piece of bread and the jar of jelly as a focal point is legitimately classical and reminiscent of chiaroscuro techniques. Additionally, the color palette is very cohesive, with the PB's red label bringing it into the composition (in conversation with the crust of the bread, which then calls in the jar of jelly) and creating a triangular balance between the three dominant objects. The plant is also creating a lot of visual interest and complementary color in the background without being overwhelming, and similarly the objects in the foreground add complexity without being distracting.
saganmypants@reddit
Excellent composition
Meowgenics@reddit
Yeah and there's tons of soft visual boundaries like the edge of the table and the soft curling of the paper towel.
Asymmetric-_-Rhythm@reddit
I’m not an art junkie but even I was like “is this a well put together still life of a pbj”
