The challenge number two

The challenge number two

Still life

I can't remember the last time I painted a still life - probably at school or maybe in my 20's. Therefore, this was a bit of a challenge but an enjoyable one. The Satsuma's are from Christmas and the vase is one bought in Holland in the factory shop of Delft - which brought back nice memories. I enjoyed painting both the vase and the fruit however, I think the material isn't quite right so will work on that!

Good idea - I was nervous about going too strong and so probably shied away!

Lovely work, but would you consider strengthening the shadows just a little to enhance the lovely light effect on the fruit and vase?
