This is a handsome harvest image, the fresh and clear colors are more spring like and show the true energy within the items - it looks so tasty and pure, so full of love and purity - I never saw fruits of harvest in these tones - so beautiful, breath taking - nice details, great contest entry, all the best, a very harmonious and radiating work

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. Believe it or not, but all the fruit and the flower are in original color. The only difference to the usual autumn colors is the spring green background. I have the green of spring combined with the colors of autumn to emphasize the connection between the seasons because the blossoms of spring are born in the seeds of autumn and the fruit of autumn is born in the blossoms of spring.

A sweet choice of shades and colors. Pretty defined shapes and clarity of textures, especially the red grapes. I like the shades of greens in the background, making your fruits really stands out. A very pleasant sight. Painted with high degree of painting skills. Well framed.

I have a special program were I can paint a on canvas, I chose the kind of canvas or paper, the kind of tools etc, In this case I applied oil colors from the paint tube, spread it with the palette knife and smoothed it with different sized round oil brushes.
Thank you for your kind review.

I love it Cleo! Bright and inviting for tired eyes. I have no experience with digital art, but I respect it greatly because it takes a skill and patience, perhaps harder at times
than tangible art supplies.
Well done and i think this is an excellent contest submission.
Take care,
Jenny

Than you very much Jenny, Sometimes it is indeed harder to paint digitally. The screen of my laptop is way to small, so I cut it in 9 squares on which I work separately. It is similar to the raster technique, which is used when painting murals.

Wow, wow and more popping wow! What a beauty this is, vivid colors, strong items all in beauty. Love the green BG for this piece and the details are clear, clean and concise. The pear color is spot on in front, as the pastels surround the pear. The apple is beautiful in that color here. Then the grapes are placed in front perfectly! That pumpkin is in the middle with all the surrounding flowers and that yellow is gorgeous there. Awesome, beautiful and gorgeous. I am proud of you the artist and feel you are a master. Thanks for sharing this piece.
