Very nice work. I especially like the crackle background and the touch of red on the apple. You are no novice I can tell.

Beautiful work. But maybe just a little too much yellow. A little tinge of red for the applies and stripes (vase) might has added a little more warmth. Other than that, great framing, great composition. Good job!

    Thank you so very much, jj, and thank you for the tips. It's a bit too late to change anything now though as the contest deadline was Thursday. I'm fixing it up some to post on my other site though. Again, thank you! :)shawn

Lovely still life.
I really like the way the yellows seem to almost glow.
Good composition. The yellow and purples look great together. Nice detail in the curtains.

    Hey, Shiloh. I thought you were gone. I looked through the members list when I first came back and couldn't find you. I forgot that if you don't post anything for a while, one's name drops off the list. Good to see you, and thank you ever so much for the wonderful comments. Very very much appreciated. :)shawn

    It has been awhile since I've been around. I started a little art business and have been putting lots of time into it :) Good to hear from you and thanks for looking for me!

    Russ Cleversley (PixelArtisan)did the same thing. Sold his printing business and started an art supply shop. In the Brooklyn area, I believe. Good for you! How do you like it? I wish you the best of luck with it. :)shawn

Stunningly beautiful Shawn. The yellow and purples completely compliment each other. The use of the antique gold curtains really sets it off and makes your objects stand out in sharp relief. Beautiful work :))

This is very nicely done. The colours contrast well. The digital work is good. The flowers look so dainty.

Very nice composition and this coupled with the background results in quite a nice image. The subtle colours also make this a very nice painting.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


This still life composition has nice color harmony between all the various components within the frame. I think the posed, layout is a little sterile, segmented, the apples need to be incorporated better into the composition. Suggestion, like maybe one more in front of the vase. Also thinking the stamen need to be less fuzzy and have more definition. The other thing I would consider is creating a more dramatic light source, so you create a shadow that adds flow and better depth to the image. I do like the color scheme just needs a little better flow.

    I thank you for your time, Lucien, but I'm afraid I can't do anything about it now, as the contest deadline was Thursday. If it wasn't already entered, I'd disable it off the front page. Again, thank you.
