Another 10 in 10

One of my goals has been to try and use all of my lenses more often and one way to do it is to try and take 10 photos within a 10 meter radius. In this case, I have been wanting to use my "nifty fifty" lens (Canon EF 50mm fixed focal length) a bit more.

The above photo is of a painting, taken at a slight angle and not straight on. As a result, only a portion of the painting is in focus.

And now for the rest of the photos, all with the same F1.8:
