It's just lovely Fiona. Super colour on the apple and I do like the background.

Very nice..a lovely exercise well executed.

Wonderful simply presented which is what it is and coloured shadows to boot

Pull the other one Fiona! Whatever, the fruit is really good.

Marjorie took the words out of my mouth..bottle looks empty to me! Not sure about the placement of the objects if I'm honest but all good practice and the shine on the fruit is really very good.

The object have good substance Fiona, super uses of colouring.

Thanks very much Henry, Andre, Dennis. Marjorie and Louise...it's true, it's true...honest! Thanks John, I seem to have been bitten by the colour bug.

Good for you Fiona!

Just lovely Fiona

Great use of colour and I love the story behind the bottle. The fruit is great. I am assuming your tutor is the same as last time?

Full of zingy colours and adeptly pastelled as always Fiona.

Lovely Fiona, the composition and the shadows look really great. Well done

Very accomplished Fiona.

Lovely rich colours Fiona, the fruits look 3D.

Lovely painting Fiona .

That bottle looks as thought the cork has been removed Fiona :) That's a good pastel painting, I especially like the colours in the "gold " label on the bottle.

Thanks very much for all your kind and encouraging comments on my still life exercises.

24 x 16 pastel on canson . For yesterday's exercise I needed something with a bit of height and couldn't find anything in the room we use for our class. There just happened to be a wake in the supper room next to ours, so I borrowed the bottle of wine from them. Unfortunately I had to return it at the end of the session .....unopened! Nearly finished this one in our allotted time, it just needs a tidy up around the edges.
