This painting is bright and cheerful. I like the colors used and the subject matter. It reminds me of snapdragon flowers, which I planted each year for my grandmother. When paintings spark memories, we like them even more.

Another lovely abstract Ray, but even if it is, the brass can with flowers is standing out well. I especially like all the golden colors in this painting, and also how lovely the light is falling on the flowers can. All due to a very good use of high lights. Needless to say that the textures look great.

The tall format is perfect, and with the flowers off to the left, it is a very good balance in the composition. I think this is a lovely and well done painting, and I wish you luck with the contest.

The brass can comes forward from the background , I can see it is holding a bunch of tall flowers , I feel like they are spikes with bell type flowers growing up to the top.
As I look at the brass can, on the right portion it appears that the can is reflecting a face .
This is an awesome entry for this contest! I love the colors snd the way you show the sunlight .
Well created, nicely arranged and presented in the vertical format.
Best wishes to you in this contest!

This is an interesting artwork. A different treatment to the common still life artworks. The bunch of flowers makes it interesting to view. The background looks a bit overcrowded. Otherwise a balanced composition, bright colours and good light and shadow make this first-rate. Good luck!

I love this! The vibrant colors and sharp paint strokes makes it exeptional. And the main subject is perfectly placed and looks so lovely, integrated in the scene as if by magic. Bravo!

This is creative. I like your use of colours and the brass can that the flowers sit in is so genius. It had a facial expression with a pig nose.

Love the colours and the variation of flowers used.

Very unique in style. Great job my friend .... Wink wink.

Beautifully crafted details in this lovely presentation Ray! I like that your last flowers are standing up tall with excellent lighting to draw our attention to them immediately. The contrasts of the surround foliage and their textures are beautifully done. I like the tall framing very much. Best wishes for the contest!

This is a really nice abstract painting of flowers from the local farm stand.
Your style is recognizable and definitely a good contender for the contest.
I love the way it appears to be shining in the light! Great work!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable abstract view, of those flowers set against other foliage. Well painted and good luck!
