i love the way you can see through the bottle, awesome jobEmilia Misiura 10 Apr 2005
Renee Thank you for commenting on my work. Looking at you still life it's great, love the colors. Bottle, dish is excellent. If I was painting this I would give a little more value on a fruit. Especially the apple behind the avocado. Love your other paintings. I see that you are aware of colors and tri angles. Good for you. I just don't understand some people who say that they love the paintings, yet they give a such a low score. But looking at their work............... Oh never mind.Marilyn Servais 08 Apr 2005
