This is beautifully painted, the twisted flute and the linen cloth are excellent and silver is so difficult to paint, congratulations.

Fantastic painting. Usually these paintings are so much smaller. To get this accuracy in a 50cm x 50cm canvas is amazing. You can almost reach out and touch the creases in that cloth! Wow!

You skill level takes my breath away. Brilliantly painted - those reflections and that lace -ahhhh!

Absolutely perfect. I feel that I could reach out and take an apple from the table, and you have captured the silver so well .amazing.

I missed this one, Petra. Your painting of all those items is perfect. It reminds me of the 17th Century Dutch paintings. Marvellous!!!

Just love this, Petra! Like Carol, I just absolutely love the cloth. Then again, I also like the reflection of the silver and the apples. Everything, actually!

Love your stills, especially this one. The applies look as though you could just pick them up and bite into them and the lace is just perfect. Very talented artist in still life. Well done

Sorry, just noticed the mistake, I must be tired. I meant apples, not 'applies' in case your wondering.

Posted by Toulla Hadjigeorgiou on Wed 20 Jul 22:45:44

Many thanks Touilla, much appreciated

Oil on canvas, deep edge. 50 x 50 cms. Those items have very sentimental value to me and I enjoyed painting them
