Well, it looks to me as if you intended every one of those millions of glazes, so it's come triumphantly right at the end. It's odd - I always say, if anyone's daft enough to ask, that I don't really like still life: but then I see one like this, and my opinion is transformed. It's the richness of your surface in this case, I think, and on other occasions the vibrancy of your work.

A very calm and restful painting. It has a timeless quality to it.

I agree with everyones comments Satu. The composition, the palette and the light, especially on the darker pot, is faultless.

The light and shadows are so well done. I love the pale background, really makes the bottles stand out.

Very beautiful Satu. Maybe the fact of putting many glazes has given volume and depth of colour to your pots. Lovely colour combination....you did it again!

Acrylic painting on canvas 51 cm x 60cm. I have been working on this for well over a week and probably started with a too watery colour and I had to apply millions of glazes to get a satistactory result.
