I think this piece is great, and if you can imagine it in a resturant or a kitchen or dining room you can see it as an awesome piece, nice composition and contast of colors, i love the angle of the pears, well done.

The colors aren't really in contrast or blend. The shadows seem out of proportion. Just isn't doing it for me. Nice detail. Would like seeing more but this one just isn't "it". You have talent though!

Great proportionment of the different angles of the pears. The tiling of the table top is incredible in its bright hues and patterns woven throughout. I'm not sure if it's too busy, detracting from your centralized subjects, or if it's just so incredibly striking, so easy to get lost in its design. I like your toying with casted shadows and light and dark throughout. I look forward to more of your creative paintings.

I had the same doubts about the busy-ness of it too...but hope that it still works. Thanks for your comments

i really like the use of a horizontal composition here. at first i thought it was a photograph, then i realized that it is a painting. good use of light and shadow in this one.

thank you....I love shadows almost more than the subject sometimes!
