I love most of your pictures so much, but I have to be honest, this one isn't doing much for me. It looks too messy. I think it would look better with clear outlines. I'm not actually sure, remember this is coming from someone who can't paint or draw anything!

    Thank you very much for your critical review and your input.
    Clear outlines would be against the style I used for this painting. :o)

I am enjoying this "soft still life". I believe you have done a wonderful job at your attempt.
It fells soft and fragile. A very lovely entry for the still life contest.
I feel a sense of innocence here. Really well done.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


I think that you did a good job creating this still life piece of art in the impressionistic style. The composition is laid out well, dividing the canvas into a foreground ,main subject,the vase with flower and then the wall.
The colors are wronging well together to make it visually appealing as well. Nicely done for the most part. I think that the flower towards right needed a little more color, more definition, so that they stand up equally as well to the ones on the left. I am also thinking the vase needs a few definitive lines.

Other then that, for me it is nicely done, but needs those few improvements in order to make it a 5, in my opinion.

Thank you for allowing me to comment on your artwork.
Cheers,
Lucien

    Thank you very much for your critical review and your advice. I agree with you. This piece is a revived one. It was created and posted in 2013. I might try to create another expressionist still life with more refined lines and better coloring next year.
    Take care! Stay save!
    Cheers!

Wonderful digital art of these fresh spring like flowers with a delishes pastries creating great still life presentation.
The casual strikes on the table and in the background bring lightness into the picture.

Comment from Neilnap773


an effective painting with use of the different mediums and particularly the palette knife which is very evident in this presentation and one of my favourite tools to work with to achieve the effect you have managed to do so in this piece.The colours are delicious throughout

This is gorgeous and just takes my breath away. The colors are just stunning and your technique is outstanding. The background is a perfect accent for the focus and I love how you did the flowers
