Very nice. I love the soft pastel colours. The shading is very well done. There is depth added by the alignment of the vases. Shadow is very nicely added.

Very nicely done with the details.

Thank you for sharing.

I like this soft art with transparent shadows and colors. Nice texture and composition. This another pastel still life work is really alive! Your recreated art looks very cool, Linda!!!

Thank you so very much. I struggled with this one.

Comment from cleo85
This painting has a surreal touch, due to irregular shape of the vase and missing shadows of the objects. That one of the flowers is bit close to the frame at the right is of concern, but still works because the branch points to the inside. You might consider, to crop slightly at the right for better balance. I like how you use the wall behind the still life as a kind of double-framing and how one flower exits from the inner frame.

Linda ,
I love the way you recycle your material . In fact I do the same thing .
It's a very cool piece and a wonderful birthday gift .
I think a little more dark shading under your pieces .
Thank you for sharing .

Comment from Saasha Sarin1
I like how you've used different shades of white to render your objects . It makes the piece very interesting . Do you set up a still life and draw it or is it from your imagination? I do think you can work on your proportions a little but overall the piece is really good . Keep up the amazing work !

another of the 'white series'. I tend to paint in series, so understand that one deserves an after thought, or forethought. Like the variations of white, grey white, pink white, brown white etc

Very interesting in visual and textures.

Reminds me of once I had to paint a still life using only blues. I think it was a disaster but I'm no artist :)

Really like all the textures here and I'm always thrilled with pumpkins ;)

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
I like this work because it is so classical in its concept and execution and in its atmosphere; The light and shadows, gentle pastel shades and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Comment from Linda Engel
the new pastel on the old pastel board is beautiful. I love all of the neutral tones and shades in your drawing. Love the still life bottles with the sprig of Dogwood. Lovely job in shapes and lines. Well done
