Nice warm colors complimenting the blue. The diagonal formed by the background shows an insightful angle here. Good job framing this in to maximize effectiveness.

I like the way the background appears to have been painted in. The bright blue can is a wonderful focal point and kicks this piece up about five notches in terms of visual stimulation. Very nice!

This is very definitely a mess. Great placement of the turpentine. Cool reflection. Great colour and lighting. Super focus. Well done.

I do know a lot of things 'messier' than paint BUT this posting shows us a lot of things that go to make oil paintings beautiful...well done

I thought I would leave the messier rather than 'more messy' because it's messier! Glad you caught that. Thanks

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
Yes. I can relate to this. My painting area ( I do't have a studio) looks far worse than this. And a reason for my wife's constant grumbling!:) Good entry for the contest. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!
