Diana, this is amazing, an unusual subject but so well done. How long did it take you?

Been away myself the last few weeks Diana, but this painting makes me realise what I've been missing. Beautiful and masterly.

A superb watercolour Diana - your skill in handling the medium is quite evident. The glass is amazing and the composition is really good.

It's all been said!!

Wow, thank you for so much positive feedback I think the dark colour helped in defining the translucency of the glass. Lin, Adele,Lynne,Jenny M, Cesare,JennyH,Paul,John,Janet,Dennis Rou,Bob,DennisRob,Suzanne,Russel, Andre,Jujle,Manashree and Gudran.. Thank you for your much appreciated and motivating comments. Jenny, in answer to your question, I spent several days on the jars but didn't want to be too precise The background was slapped on in a few minutes at the end!! Hence the last pan falling off the hob! I struggle with backgrounds so snd up slapping a bit of colour around! Diana

The glass is smashing, don't touch! The treatment of the engravings in the jars is tremendous as is the idea and whole rendition.

I really like the 'ordinariness' of the subject, and so acutely well observed too.

Posted by John Humber on Sat 30 Apr 10:50:38

Brilliant Diana....love your 'out of the box' subjects and always challenging.

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Sat 30 Apr 15:29:09

Derek, I won't touch it !! The brushes are down. Thank you John and Fiona too. I might get this one framed. Diana

I've just seen it - very very masterly Diana. I love the beauty of these "ordinary" objects .
