Vinho Verde by Amanda Bates

Very nicely done. The knifework is super - controlled yet suggestive.

Brilliant knife work Amanda! I had a go at a couple, you make it look easier than I found it, especially fine work like this.

This is very well done.

I absolutely love this painting ! I keep looking at it again and again !

How nice of you to say so, Beverley! And Seok, Fiona and Gudrun - thank you, too, for the compliments. It's the fourth in a small series (colours of wine), and, I think, the best. I have just given this one a frame, but it still has no home.

Great painting. The glass and bottle look almost 3D - what superb textures you have got into them as well. Super stuff.

Thank you, Thea. Of course, the surface *is* rather heavily textured...

another lovely still life, amazingly realistic glass and bottle. that blue tablecloth comes in handy!!

It certainly does, Ros!
