You have created a impressionistic image. Good composition. The colors are soft and lovely. The background sets off the flowers. It is a relaxing image to look at. Nice framing. Well done

For this still life being your first in pastels, it is quite impressive. The brightly colored lemons and flowers stand out beautifully against the dark walls and table in the background. You blended everything perfectly. Thanks for sharing :)

the glass, lemons and flowers are very good, but I do so much more love your landscapes which set one dreaming, as looking out onto endless roofs. You however, thought out the techniques carefully, the dark background which clearly shows the objects in the front of the scene.

Thank you very much. I prefer to do them also. This is my first still life and it was a stretch for me to create it for this contest. It was a learning experience so All is not for naught.
-
it is not for nought as you say- and as I said, the glass particularly is very good.. has your inimitable gentle style..

Thanks very much.

Wonderful flower, lemon and glass bottle still life. Love the placement of all the beautiful elements that are so well painted. Old transparent bottle well painted and so very appropriate. Background Mauve colors works very well. Thank You for sharing.

Comment from Trajan
Great adjustments.
It pops and reads better.
Like this quite a lot for the simple composition and negative space.
You have done quite well for using this medium the first time.
The glass is particularly good. That is hard to do!
The lemons are a little overly bright and need some additional color or tone down the whites here.
Also, I would add a little more light to the transparent shadow thrown by the glass. It should be a little lighter. This would reduce the heaviness in this area.
Overall, a great first run!
Keep on at it! Art is life!!!

I just darkened the shadow ax two others said it was too light. Thanks for your input.
-
That is funny!
Caustics through glass are actually fairly light. It?s always interesting what people believe to be correct vs. what is. Of course it?s an impressionist piece, so creative license!
You did a great job!

I?m still mulling it over, lol. I?ll leave it for a few days and then take another look. Sometimes I overwork a piece.
-
I made some adjustments. Let me know your opinion if you do not mind taking another look. Thanks.

A beautiful picture of the Daisy like flowers in the glass jar glowing in the light with lemons beside it one sliced showing the beauty of the inside. Beautiful composition created with very skilful draftsmanship beautiful choice blending & application of your colours.
