This is again a typical "Petra"-glass painting. Beautiful lightspots on the cherries. Well done, Petra!

Really amazing work. Incredibly beatutiful. I would like to try to paint glass like you, but really hard.

Another real beauty Petra

I agree with all the above comments Petra, beautiful glass work and the cherries, in my mind I am eating those for breakfast!.

How on earth do you do it? Stunning. I shall log on to your page and get some tips.

Brilliant Petra. Just beautifully done. Thank yo so much for taking the time and trouble to post the "work in progess" on facebook. Highly educational, and a facinating insight into just how much work goes into these paintings. I recommend anyone, either working in oils or thinking about it, take a look at how you do it. Brilliant, and thank you again!

I think you have captured the market in painting glass, Petra. You are stunning at it. The dark red cherries are a wonderful foil for the lightness of the glass and your reflections, as always, are a integral part of the painting. Superb.

Another super still life Petra, I also like the diffused reflections on the table surface.

I had some cherries earlier in the week, I tried painting them but gave up and ate them instead LOL It is amazing how incredibly life like you manage to get your glass, reflections and fruit to look. Another stunning painting.

The above comments say it all Petra - well done!

Fantastic Petra, I couldn't choose a 'best bit' it's all perfect.

Absolutely stunning as usual, Petra. Love the way you painted the glass bowl - so simple yet so very effective in showcasing the cherries.

Thank you very much Mia, Midori, Michael, Glennis, Lynne, Tony, Thea, Stephen, Val, Debs, Fiona and Seok for your very kind comments, very much appreciated

Your still lifes are always so beautiful; a pleasure to see.

Petra, your fabulous glass and fruits. Beautiful.

Great still life painting Petra, I could only echo the many comments already made about this piece, The gla ss, reflections and everything are so well painted, another one for your great portfolio..

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!! I'll have a look at your FB page because I'm really interested to know and see how it's done. You are so clever Petra!

So beautiful as always Petra , you have such a distinct style. Your glass is amazing.

Thank you Avril, Carole, Satu and Denise your comments are very much appreciated

Superb painting Petra I love everything about it,

Stunning work Petra. Those cherries look absolutely delicious, and the light you have captured just glows on both glass and cherries. Super reflection again.

Many thanks William and Lesley for your very kind comments
