I agree that this is far from unsuccessful - it's very well done, and I love the simplicity and the choice of colours.

It's a great still life. Great colours and lovely and loose. You are too hard on yourself!

Success is walking from one failure in your mind to the next without fear.... I'm always failing keep failing sucess comes those who don't look for it... This is a success well done..
