I really like this piece. The vibrant colors, the subject matter, and the unique patterns in the foreground and background. I love the contrast of having a black and white foreground and color background. This artistry is full of detail and an accurate rendition of the subject matter. Thank you for posting this great piece.

Very nice drawing it is.
Interesting subject and presentation.
With all-colorful items at the back there is black-white painting shown on table - very nice contrast.
Lovely use of lighting effects, guiding eyes to the objects of burner and pencils and brushes in holder.
Good luck in the contest, thank you for sharing.

I like this creation very much. The colors in the background help to light up the rest of the creation. The lamp is cool with the little smoke beams coming out . The art pens and pencils ready to use in the picture and the vase filled with the unknown. The bright colors on the bottom of the lamp reflects on the pen and pencil container with light and shadows Great job Thanks for the view.

A a marvelous, creative entry for this contest. Love the color choices and the harmony of them. Great tech work and lighting.
I really like how you've created the sphere behind the desk and items reminds me of the world and that there are no limits to the imagination. That's what came to my mind. beautiful work. Thanks for sharing this!

Lol, like I wonder who this could possibly belong to. Absolutely gorgeous work, a beautiful still life, filled with the smallest of details. Best of luck in the contest with this one. Shirley

Even with blinders on I am pretty sure I recognize who did this by the quality of the work :)

All of the detail, colors, and lighting are fantastic, but that golden lamp and the white shade really stand out.

Excellent work !

What a wonderful composition. It is really displayed well and the digital art has given it some nice sharp resolution. Your technique has worked well composing this and the type of programs you have used works well with good impact here.

Very nice image, a real close up of an artist life; the atmosphere is a bit retro, beautiful lamp and classical tools; I love the nice background and the BW design adds a note of refinement to the picture.
