That cotton cloth is extremely well painted.

I second that well painted!!

Me too...very well done, and the texture on the lemon is great also. Love the granulation effect, wonder how you did it?

Thank you for your kind comments. Ruth, the light spots were created by wetting a tooth pick, rubbing it on the yellow areas, then blotting with a tissue. The darker spots were simply applied on to the light areas with a fine brush.

Wonderful fabric. if I might suggest a slightly different colour for the shadow would make the lemon look less heavy; maybe purple and yellow?
