Superb still life Denise your grapes as all your fruit look delicious. Great composition.

Wow Denise this is absolutely brilliant and so beautifully done. The glaze on the potter is excellent, and the fruits look so good . I don’t know how you achieve the shine but it’s certainly beautiful done.

I agree with other comments, superb painting!

It's really very good Denise. I particularly like the apple bottom left. It's lovely that you enjoyed every minute painting it : ) x

Lovely painting Denise, colours and light excellent. The one thing that sticks out for me (and I hope you don't mind me saying) is that the perspective of the earthenware vase is a little wrong . The viewpoint is pretty much head on so the elliptical top of the vase needs to be flatter.

Thanks for your comments Chris, Paul, Anne, Diane and Heather. I don't mind at all Heather and prefer things to be pointed out. That way I can learn from it. I also think the dish needs a bit more shadow under it. Thanks.

Wow Denise. That is absolutely superb. I feel I put my hand out and pick up the fruit. This is still life at its very best!!!

Reminds me of a beautiful Cezanne...really lovely piece, Denise!

Some lovely work here Denise, especially the grapes. The vase is niggling me a bit though.

It’s pastel, isn’t it, Denise? You can easily correct that perspective, elipses are notoriously hard. Often you move your position during the painting process and you throw everything out of kilter ( that’s my own experience). Otherwise, you’re going great guns with your progress

Love your diversity Denise. The fruit is amazing with lovely highlights. The technical things like ellipses just take time and patience.

Fabulous. I just want to reach out and pinch one of those lovely grapes.

Much appreciated thanks David, Thalia, Frank, Stephen, Marjorie, Carole and Ellen. I will try to fix the vase and put a bit more shadowing under the dish.

Denise I am an expert on ellipses, you can put money on me never getting them right! Apparently, once you get them, you get them, I haven’t succeeded to date…… my own fault for not practicing. Despite the above, you have a wonderfully composed and executed still life here. I particularly love the palette you’ve chosen.

Your progress Denise is gobsmacking….polite and to the point…

Very nicely done indeed

I was just looking at your WIP, it’s so frustrating when you feel something is wrong and can’t quite work it out. Apart from wonky ellipses (🤣) this is a lovely painting, the fruits are so juicy and the pottery glaze is good.

I've spent many hours on this today, far from perfect but I've enjoyed every minute.
