Wow! This is an amazing acrylic masterpiece. It is so realistic and you always put the highlights in the right places so it doesn't seem obvious to the viewer. Fantastic!

This still life is beautiful. Bananas are so fragile; one minute unripe, next minute rotten. You've captured them at the perfect moment... my kids want these "nommies". This piece brings a lot of happy personal feelings for me. I love it. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest!

I think this is a very fine entry into this contest, and I especially like the colors of the background with the fine textures. You have also used the high lights well to bring out life in the still life.

Your brush work is excellent and the bananas are painted paying very good attention to details. Like adding spots to the them.

The format and framing works really well, and the fruit are well placed on the canvas. Indeed a great looking and well done painting, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Wonderful painting of these yellow banana. Funny my husband just brought some banana from the store and praised them how good they look. And right Then I opened this posting for review. The details and natural coloring is great; the two tones back so nice for this presentation. Great for the contest entry.
