Great and awesome painting Cathy!!!!!

Artist Reply: Thanks Joke. I just love your colourful tulip. It's my favourite.

Cher Peterson 23 Apr 2007

Very life-like, and yet stylized. A wonderful rendition of a tomato.

Artist Reply: Thanks for your kind comment. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work!

Eileen Kasprick 15 Apr 2007

Great idea and concept. Keeping the red very vibrant is a great skill in oil. What size are these. Wonderful

Artist Reply: Thanks for the lovely comments. Tomato is 46x34 cms, probably smaller than you expected. The close-up makes you think it's quite large. I might do a really big one, I think that would be funky. Peacock feathers for example is larger 80x60cms. As for showing great skill? Mmmm, I've only been painting 6 years and still have a lot to learn!

Gail Caduff-Nash 13 Apr 2007

very vibrant. i like this style very much and the fabric is an interesting feature. for some reason, i don't like your beans - reminds me of fingernails - but the rest is great. thanks.

Artist Reply: Thanks for your comment Gail, appreciate it. String beans is one of my key pieces and its what got me on the road to using textures. It was one of the first I did. It also won me several competitions. Everyone sees different things in it though, one person said they saw sheep but fingernails is a first! I'm working on a huge bean picture called 'dream of beans' and I've asked for critique in the forum. Maybe you could have a look for me. The thread is titled 'dream of beans'. Thanks.

LORIE La Plant 12 Apr 2007
