This painting is just filled with lovely hues of blue, and the autumn colors in the background offer such a nice contrast. I especially like the fine shine you have obtained in the bottles and glasses, and again I like the white ink outlines.

The format is perfect, and I also like the tight framing and the placement of the bottles and glasses. This is course makes for a well balanced composition. It is a great looking and well done still life Ray, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Very cool piece! I think the complementary colors work well together. A very good composition. The tall bottles draw you gaze upwards as it looks around. I like the hint of purple for perhaps wine and the yellowish tint to a liquor drink of some type.
I am off to get a glass of wine for some reason. : )

This is so awesome! I love the glass bottles and the way you have arranged them here behind the two glasses. The little box on the left is also interesting , it adds further interest and adds depth here.
I like that two of the bottles also have corks .
Wonderful choice and application of the colors ,I love the warm tones in background. Good show of the beverages inside the glasses and awesome the way you show the glasses shining in the light.
Well created, awesomely arranged and presented!

This artwork's intricate geometric shapes and rich palette transform a simple canvas into a lively, visually striking and thought-provoking work of art. Indeed, this still-life art captures a moment frozen in time. Well done! Here's my SIX for the lovely work. Cheers!

Hi Ray, This Acrylic and ink on paper "Refreshments" is a very good entry into the still life art contest. Cocktails all round and fun to be had with friends and family. It's party time with this one Ray. I like the way you painted the glasses. Good colours and texture. Good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing:-)

Comment from Kathy Banich


I can envision this acrylic framed and hanging in an Italian restaurant. The colors are soft yet bold, the scene is well presented with scale and ample detail. I am curious about the box on the left (what is it?). A nice glass of red as well as white are awaiting a long tedious day (a story). I further like the varying cork stops. A fun piece to admire and contemplate.

    Thank you Kathy for your wonderful in depth review. You are the only one, so far who asked what was in the white box. It is a stash box. I am so glad you enjoy it. Ray

A lovely depiction of humanity's libations. A good
display of different alcoholic beverages. Clear and different demonstration of colors. Good luck in the contest
