you've done some very pleasing things with red. well composed, inviting. i've not seen a still life with so few colors. this is quite dramatic. thank you.

Gorgeous vibrant colors, like the way everything is set just left of center, or is that an optical illusion because the plate is bigger. Lovely work

I really like this image. It's gorgeous, love the red hues everywhere; with the white they really compliment each other well. I can't believe you did this on the computer. I can't draw on one. I respect your ability. Beautiful, just lovely!! Levon7

I like this image a great deal. The arrangement of the cup and saucer and the bright colours draw my eye to it straightaway. You have placed the subjects very well in the frame. The pleats of the background are interesting and the fold in the material in the foreground also adds interest. The chinaware is delightful with red roses matching the colour of the strawberries. Very well thought out and a pleasure to view.

Classical beauty in a classical still life. Beautiful colors al over. Those reds and whites with an touch of silver are very intriguing. Well you can't get that pen tool tamed? You are the opposite of me than. I just can't work with those shapes. I only can work with my fingers on my mouse pad moving my brushes. That's the beauty of it' That we are all different. How boring would art be otherwise.

LOL! No, I paint with my mouse too, cleo. I meant is the pen tool in the program to do vector drawing and shapes. Just can't do that vector stuff. :) Thank you for the beautiful review, I really appreciate it :)shawn

Well I cant do the vector stuff either :-) Yes, I know you mean the pen tool in the program. It is similar to my brushes [in the ArtRage program]. I cannot paint with the mouse, I tried. I am very clumsy with a mouse anyway. I never really worked on a Desk Top Computer. I work with that little mouse pad on my laptop :-) Cleo

Wow! This is a classic example of a still life. This is a beautiful composition and capture. You have framed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Good effort!
