Comment from Mike Roberts
This is classic Shawn. I see your style in this painting, with the reflective objects and your very cool way of composing an image. I really like the dominate gold tones with the red and green to complement. Very nice creation which has a seasonal feel to it. I love the work. It is magnificent!

A very well done still life study. So full and rich making a feast for the eyes. The gleaming light is wonderful. Your color choices are very harmonious. You have an expert control of the media. I love the way you are able to capture gold in particular.

What a wonderful and creative image. You are certainly on the way to mastering your craft. Great color contrast and composition. I was a little distracted by the pipe as it appeared to be more blurry than the other images you have pasted. Other than that its a great effort.

Thank you, Felix. It could be because each item was hand painted on different layers. I may have used a slightly different technique in painting it.

Good use of your expertise with mixed media effects. The blending works well to make an interesting collage of delightful images. Another thought provoking composition.

Looks like you spent some time creating this. I really like the idea and the mellow colors you used. It relays the feeling of fading years but forever memories. Good job.
