I find that a painting is more interesting for the viewer is everything is not explained. <BR/><BR/>In January, I painted a pear with a blue reflection coming from an "off-camera" wall. I wasn't sure about the reflection. So I did the next one with the blue wall in it. The first one was definitely more interesting. I'll post the two pears soon.<BR/>Thanks for your comments.JohanneMorinFineArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008293680512930163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291970806691706092.post-42427599257147586082009-02-25T14:18:00.000-06:002009-02-25T14:18:00.000-06:00I like the reflection on the table (especially the...I like the reflection on the table (especially the reflection of the highlight in the small pot). I like the sharp diagonal shadow. I like the matching highlights on the bottom rims of the pots. And I like the simplicity of the strawberries.<BR/><BR/>I'm less enthusiastic about the color of the reflections in the pots. I think they stand out too much for me.<BR/><BR/>The matching yellows on the big pot and inside the small pot also distract me a little. It almost looks like there's a hole in the spout of the little pot and we're seeing the big pot through the hole. I think if the colors on the big pot had were slightly different it would fix the problem.<BR/><BR/>Overall one of my favorites so far!kbubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529933365403228209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291970806691706092.post-50016467740124790072009-02-25T08:23:00.000-06:002009-02-25T08:23:00.000-06:00Lovely!Lovely!BJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986370549347726223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291970806691706092.post-62064654368163748572009-02-25T04:49:00.000-06:002009-02-25T04:49:00.000-06:00If I may say so, "I think she's got it!"

I can imagine an "off-camera" object causing it - is that what I am supposed to do? I'm so glad you put in the partial pot at the back - it really adds a lovely element.Bob Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669046722417662629noreply@blogger.com
