My favorite of my own still lifes

And this guy's art and his story is really neat

You can see his paintings here. The artist is too modest. Looking over his site, I had trouble finding his name (it must be there somewhere). His first name is Paul.

And another

by Malaysian artist Latif Maulan, whose work can be seen here.

Here's another

The artist Meredith Ramsbotham's other paintings can be seen here.

Contemporary Still life

I found this image of tea cups painted by Lisa Hirst, a Canadian painter living in France, and compare it with a painting of a honey jar that I've been working on lately. Ms. Hirst's paintings can be seen here.
It's fun to make a comparison like this, something that would have been impossible before the internet. Needless to say, lots of artists who are unaware of each other's paintings, are interested in traditional genres and in careful, thoughtful observation of ordinary life.
