You have the pot shapes spot on Michael. When I try it, I can never get two sides of pot the same. I love the green/yellow tinge of damp moss on them really effective. Great realistic colours. ps. Thanks for your kind comments on my painting.

The shape of the large Ali Baba pot is super,as Carole says not easy to do, and alltogether a good strong composition, I think you should do more still lifes!

I like this Michael. You've worked a lot of colour into the painting. Some of your paintings have very dark strong shadows and if you do have another go another day a bright light source might make some interesting cast shadows over all of those curves and rounded edges.

I agree with the above, Michael, please give us more of this. The pots are stunning!

Thanks so much one and all. Paul your suggestion is well made and when I get round to 'Pots 2' I will include some shadows.

I love your pots Michael, they are very well drawn and painted and caught my eye straight away when I opened the page. I find painting pots very satisfying and have done " hundreds". I wish you could give me some of yours to paint, I have done all mine. Well done!!

Nearly missed this one Michael, big change of subject but as has been said, the drawing and colours are spot on.

Thanks Satu and Stephen - its a bit of a departure for me so really pleased you liked it.

Very very well done, Michael! Love the variations of shapes and sizes. They really add such tension to the painting.

Had some trouble getting an image that's true to the original despite trying with flash, without flash, inside, outside, scanning, etc Anyway this is not spot on but is fairly close although in reality the leaves are painted a little stronger than this suggests and the light red is not as 'raw' as it appears here. I don't usually do still life but couldn't resist this one - I might try a few more as I have some different pot shapes that aren't included here.
