Oh my, this is immediately pleasing to the eye! I absolutely love the calming tones of the color palet used here, the tall vase with the dogwood spring , I like the way it reaches out and toward the urn shaped vase. I like the slight change of tone in this vase, the pumpkin is well shaped and I love the placement of the stem. I see this is sitting on a table and really like the background and the way you actually frame the objects on the table with the pale gray outer border and the yellow square . In my opinion this is beautiful work, the details, colors and tones, light and shaded areas are all very well applied . I am impressed !

A very artful drawing that would make a great companion piece to the garlic. I think the dogwoods are beautiful but do not quite understand the inclusion of that squash or whatever it is.

Thank you very much. The pumpkin is just another organic element.

I do that all the time. I'm painting away and then out of the blue...I just white it all out. My thinking is I can spend another day working on it frustrated or just get rid of it now. Anyways, I like what you came up with here. There are so many shades of whites, beiges and greys all coming together to give it a soothing white still life painting. It will do well in the contest. Good luck.

A lovely elegant still life, Linda. Always thrilled to see a Dogwood blossom a favorite of mine from my many years in Virginia. The delicacy of the bloom is rendered well and the monochromatic vases let it be the star. Nicely done.

Comment from ArtistCharles
Linda, I think this one is stronger than the white one. It has more interest and depth. Just the little bit of added color makes a big difference. Nice shapes and shading. I don't get a sense of scale in this piece, which isn't bad just not there. The background works. The dogwood is pushing the frame and I would either give it more room OR let it break through the line as you have with the vase below. Nicely seen.
