Comment from Details
Are black pearls white? Sorry if that's a stupid question. I quite like this composition - I does make one pause and consider what the story is with the wedding band. Excellent detailing on the flowers and especially the vase. I really like the use of just a few colors - this always pleases me about your work.

Hi, Details. After reading your review, I looked up black pearls on the Internet. The one black pearl that I personally owned was approx. this color ( a smoky grey) maybe a tad darker, named so because they are cultivated or grow naturally in black pearl oysters. The ones I found on the Internet seemed to range from about this color to very dark with about a thousand shades in between...lol. Thank you for the great review on this. I really appreciate it.

Comment from Angelheart The First
Good morning Shawn,
Once again,you are my first review of the day! This is a very
subdued and a beautiful comp-
osition that would look so lovely by a woman's dressing
table.It has most everything that you would more than likely
see on the table and it would
give the lady something to
gaze at while getting ready for
day or night.
I love the color palette,the red is an exceptional shade and the white backdrop is exceptio-
nally shaded.You've put great
depth into this and the soft
lighting is placed perfectly.
This is a fine arts piece as I see it.You did a wonderful job
and I thank you for sharing this
one.Great start to my day!
Angelheart :)

Comment from Romy
Beautiful digital painting! I love the warm colors and the fineness of the subject. I love the glow in the background and the brightness of the string of pearls. Very nicely balanced. It's such a feminine design and delicate. Awesome. Very well done.

Thank you for sharing
Romy
