OHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Now I realise, I was away a view days, and just now I see what was happening. Great my first DD! Wonderful. Yes indeed the old masters and paintings were my inspiration on that. I actually took a whole series and its there on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=APXMGK…
Best and Thank You. GF

Oh, we studied that in Art History! 
For those who don't know: "la vanité" or "vanitas" is the theme for this type of art. ^^ Vanitas art is a style that is there to remind us that we are mortals and that our lives will end one day.
Philippe de Champaigne's "Vanité" is a classic, one of the most famous:

But my favorite would probably be La Madeleine à la veilleuse, by Georges de La Tour, in 1640:

Congratulations on the DD and the beautiful Vanitas you put together! It has a very classical feel to it that would fit perfectly with the old masters.
