Excellent back lighting you have given to the peapod.. perfect use of colour values.. they look good enough to eat! I love fresh peas right out of the pod like this, and you have brought them to life in this painting! Fabulous!! :o)
It's strange that some of the almost incidental work that we do often turns out better than the BIG piece that we have to brace ourselves for. This is lovely...well done.
Artist Reply: Not so strange, Susan - the bigger the piece, the more room for mistakes! LOL
Thank you for your kind comment. :-)
wow for the 6x8 size you did fantastic on the details!!! and yep, me too a bad photographer, i'm trying hard to learn but its all math to me... thanks for the reply : )
Hello Betty, i read your threads about a more detailed comment amongst us all and will give you my thoughts : ) First, i love how you composed this, having the dark corners at right... your oil and brushwork superb as usual... fine art lovely.. i do also feel that the image is just a tad blurry which is all of our bane here online...also include the size to help me visualize more correctly... your shadow and highlights are top notch... wonderful work Betty : )
Artist Reply: Thanks a bunch, Sher! The size is pretty much what you see - 6 x 8 - it really is just a little guy. I know it's blurry but the fault is entirely mine. I can paint relatively well, but I am a LOUSY photographer!
