Surprise, Amazing Grace! I have never seen your art before. I would rate it as 7 and already saved it as my favorite! You're a talented artist! You worked with oils, too and used my favorite 16Ã?20 canvas size!!! The composition is perfect! The colors are gorgeous! The black background works well! You were able to show different textures of the flower and the pod! I can feel the back side of it! Dapth of field is great! The Red is truly remarkable! Please start painting again! (())

    Thank you Lucas! You are so nice. 16x20 is my favorite too :)
    I might be overly critical with myself as I am rarely happy with my paintings. It would probably help if I had a better idea of what I was doing, lol! Even then I'd still be too much of a perfectionist. I do daydream sometimes about going to art school or lessons. Maybe I will try to take more time for painting in 2019.

Comment from Sange


The color red you chose to use here are beautiful. It reminds me of a beautiful apple/cherry red.
I don't feel your Photograph does your Painting justice as I am sure it is better in person.
I love the round pot, red flowers and the few white ones sticking out over the rim.
I am very impressed with your Painting skills and pleased to boast that I own one!! ;)
Very nice work Gracie Lu!!

    Thank you! It was difficult to get the red in the background to show - obviously, since you can't see it - lol!

So this piece was yours Grace. I think it is stunning....got my vote in the contest so congrats on it doing so well.

You are a talented Lady...not only w/ your camera but apparently w/ oils as well. I think against your dark background this has just made the most gorgeous presentation. I so hope this piece is hanging on your wall.

    Thank you very much Deborah, I truly appreciate your encouraging remarks. I don't consider myself very good at painting, but I like to try do it. I think art classes might be helpful - some of my work ranks right up there with 3rd graders -seriously not joking lol! This one was difficult to photograph, the red tones in the black didn't show up in the picture. Thank you for giving it your vote!

    Reds can be a bitch to photograph Grace...oops....am I allowed to say that here?? lol but against the black background in your piece I think they look wonderful. You are very welcome for the vote AND the review.

This is a fine entry into the Red Contest and good luck!
Beautifully done in many shades of red. Your colors so vivid with beautiful brush strokes and blending of color. I like how you have created light and shadows and depth in this piece. A creative and talented art work. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

A beautiful low key rendition. I like the way the reds seem to glow against the dark background. A fine perspective and a great color palette.

Comment from Angelheart The First


I am not a traditional artist but I do appreciate good art. I review traditional art
as a spectator would at an art show,art fair etc. I have only one question in mind
when I view a work and that is would it have a place on one of the walls in my
home.This is an excellent piece of traditional art and I would be happy to place it on one of my walls.
Thanks for sharing it~

Comment from Natalia Leigh


this picture definitely should win. Red Colors stepping out from the darkness reminding me Renaissance time. Tiny white flowers making the dramatic stress on the scene, showing how cute they are. Strokes of brush are unusual and simply natural. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty, pretty flowers in a gorgeous red vase that is accented by the green leaves falling on its side. I love the textures you have in this painting and adore the shapes and colors of your flowers. This is a wonderful entry and I wish you much luck.
