Another beautiful image. The whole setup looks like its three dimensional and could reach out and grasp the objects. The colors chosen are well balanced and the reflections on the table are very believable. Wonderful.

Comment from Snopaw


Funny Shawn, is someone accusing you of using photographs in your work? This is a very nice stilllife, with contradicting textures. You have the dried flowers, in a lovely vase, down to the shiney reflective surface, very creative. Shirley

What can I say...just I sit on my back and look at your picture.More than previous artwork this one delight my eyes with a brown and little yellow...in very harmonious arrangement that make my think at outside autumn and give to me a melancholy feeling.

Surely this is difficult to get but absolutely amazing, interesting and when you finish you can say: WOW lol
I like the colors and reflections that you have there. The components combination and special too the arrangement of the vase. The way that branches are designed. Very nice

This is cool looking. Love the subtle colors here and the glassy look to this. Great job on the overlays and the highlights and shadows as well. Fantastic job.

This is something else,it has all the artistic elements,styling,design,the work on this colorful composition is exeptional,crystal clarity, the perfect amount of red in this beautiful brown poetry,just enough to make the point of interest in the right place.

Comment from BingoStar


I really like your apple, vase and candle. The big vase and background wall paper is cool but I`m not real crazy about the dried flowers. I Love spring and summer when everything dies out its not my favorite but this looks nice. The reflections on the shiny table is my favorite part. Nice job

    Being born on the first day of Spring...I would say Spring is my favorite time of year also, Bingo. Thank you so much for the excellent rating regardless of the dried flowers. :)

Comment from TheCompletePicture


Good overall composition, unfortunately web compression is not a friend of all the detail that's here!

Reflections are hard to paint and I think they have been carried out OK.

My biggest concern is with the really busy background and that does hit my enjoyment of the image as there seems limited separation or depth.

Comment from Jorge Gaete


Great work.
Such a simple subject transformed by your talent into a beautiful romantic work of art.
The color blend is superb and so is the detail.
The reds bring it alive and the high lights at the base are like a dream.
Great work, thanks.
