Great Job...I like how the different objects look and feel like what they are made of.....The knife looks like metal, the pitcher looks like porcelain, and the peaches look soft and yummy...
Artist Reply: Thank you, Lee. To me, making paint resemble all of those things is the exciting challenge of painting a realistis still life!
Classically painted n beautifully thought out! U should paint your own wonderful face soon! I am always interested in the way a talented artist depicts their personality. I hope U don't mind me saying so, I think U r lovely n would make a great work of art. I admire your spirit n heart! It is a pleasure to see the soul of an artist shine in their work, the world needs loving kind people, to counter act the negative. I rejoice in the recognition of a person who adds inner beauty to life. CB
Artist Reply: My word, Christine! What can I say?? The fact is, I would rather paint the fuzz on a peach than the laugh (and frown) lines on my own face!!
Oh Yummy!! For now I choose to eat them! and boy do these ever look ready to eat!! So perfect the colour, the fuzzy skin, the flesh inside, I can see the juiceiness! Oh Betty this is just outstanding!! Your skill in oil's is masterful!! :o)
Artist Reply: Oh, Les! You sweller-of-heads, you! As always, you are exceedingly kind!!
very nice - well placed, would like to see a little more area above the pitcher - but textures and colors are wonderful.
Artist Reply: Thank you, Terry. You are correct! Actually, there was more space there, but I'm always getting a frame shadow in my poor photos! They are distracting so I just cut them off!
Oh Betty, what classical and rich oilwork... very perfect timeless talent... in a critique setting i wouldnt be able to find anything negative to say about this work..beautiful composing as well : )
Artist Reply: My word, Sher! I see a flaw or two, but then we are our own worst critics, aren't we?? Your praise warms my heart! Thank you!
