The textures, rich, warm colors, and application of light are so incredibly pretty in this painting. You are so good at bringing life to your subjects. Everything looks delicious :) I like the sparkles of the golden rim on the red wine goblet. This is worthy of more than six stars but I only have five. I just attempted a palette knife painting that turned out awful! I like to challenge myself but this time it was a bomb. I admire your talent!

Very nice digital painting Cleo.
I like the warm colors and the way the light highlights the wine glass in the background. It's amazing how painters manage to paint and create light.


Nice work ;)

This is a beautiful still life Cleo. I love the warm colors and soft lighting effect. Every part of this is very good but I think the tallest wine class really stands out. The lighting reflection on it makes it look like real glass. Very nice work!

Wow - I wish I had a 6 left - this is awesome and has a fantastic initial impact - - a great item to hang on the wall in a wine cellar - fantastic composition with excellent use of space - the arrangement is harmonious and attractive due to both kind of wine colors with their respective glass - the conch really round the image up
your background is excellent in color range adapting to both kind of wine and the shadow and light parts are perfect in application
your detail work is excellent on each single subject and harmony is the perfect word to describe this item - these fine details on the golden borders of the glasses are champions like - awesome job - well done

Well deserved winner, Cleo! Lovely digital painting in the style of the old masters. Love the colours you used for this delightful still life showing the story of wine. Excellent use of light and shade. Great composition. Suzanne

Comment from Mr Jones


Really wonderful picture. Excellent in the way you have captured these beauties. Yes there is a great power in the grape and the fine wines that we derive from such a tasty fruit. Your picture is a fine composition indeed.

Comment from Len Shood


Firstly congratulations on the contest win.
This is a fine still life, wonderfully detailed and a nice sense of airy light.
However, mixing red wine with white is not a good idea ... unless you want a hangover. Very well done.

Comment from shoregrass


I am really enjoying seeing all these revived pieces, Cleo. I missed so many of them. This is a fantastic still life. The arrangement is so artistic and I love how you matched the grapes to wines by color, but artistically alternated their positions. Rendered beautifully as always. Well done!
