Tomatoes, Basil and Garlic by Alison Campling

This is just excellent. Your patience is certainly rewarded. I am surprised nobody else hasn't commented yet.

Jeannette, thank you! I expect the weekend keeps people busy :o)

Hi Alison thank you for your comment on my work, I love your pictures especially this one, it's a really strong peice of work, brilliant!

Hi Alison (thanks for your comments) - you are right to feel proud - it is an excellent drawing! Especially like the reflections in the collander.

Kay and Shayne, thank you both for taking the time to comment :o)

very competent work and excellent control

Thank you for your comment Neil. :o)

Alison your work is excellent, its great to see others working in coloured pencil. and a very big thank you for your comment on my painting "do you love " sorry I took a long time to get back to you. I hope you will put more of your work on site , I for one will be looking forward to it.

Carole, thank you for your comment! I hope to post more work as I get it finished. It's half term here which always puts a go-slow on things!

This is an excellent Painting. The depth of Colours and the reflections are superb. I work in Pastel Pencil and know how hard the Blending can be to get the colours sometimes. What a Talent you have. It must have taken ages, but well worth the time. Post more.

Karen, thank you. I am hoping to get some more realistic colour pencil work here in the near future. This piece is one I am very proud of :o)

Alison, your painting is lovely, the colours are glorious. Thank you.

Thank you once again Angie :o)

I am fascinated by artists who "paint" with colour pencils ! It must take such a long time to produce a picture, but a lot longer for a beautiful work of art like this one. So very well done !

Such fantastic quality, everything's perfect, could not be improved on, you must be happy, i would be, fantastic.

Wow.

You should be proud it's really well done. And my favourite ingredients

This is just wonderful! I've just started using coloured pencils and I love doing still life, so your work really is something to aspire to.

My goodness, what an excellent piece! Especially that left hand tomato. Lovely work.

I don't "do" still lifes but this one has really captured me. The light reflections through the colander are great and the blending is excellent.

wow! this is fabulous ,yep! I would be proud to

I love this, it draws you in with its depth of warmth, and other pretty little things about it which transcends words really :-) well done :-)
