Shimmering creation with an exquisite illumination & impeccable presentation.

An artistic rendition. Monochromatic colors. Excellent details & features. Impressive strokes & textures.
Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing...

    Thank you kindly, your comments are appreciated.
Comment from SandraInSpain


I am absolutely blown away by this. I love that you can take such tangible objects as this and turn them into something so etheric. I also love the colour combinations. This truly is magical. My only reservation is that the right hand side of the painting needs something for balance. Nothing very much - maybe another handle on the glass? That woildn't interfere with the fabulous shading, which looks like a woman kneeling to me. Then, I am a clairvoyant, and I see stuff others do not! Great job.

    Thank you for your critical comments. Something at right would center the bottle, but maybe I could narrow the margin at right. I will think about it.
Comment from Lance Olson


I gave this a 6 star rating because 2 things, one i see no necessary revisions that need to be made, it's a very strong graceful piece. and second you've somehow managed to give this lifeless objects a personality of elegance and refinement. and honestly i don't usually care for still lifes cuz I think they're boring, but i sense an emotion in this, so great job.

    Thank you very much for your encouraging comments and generously high rating. I tried the paint the light rather than the objects to give them individuallity and life.

This is initially very pleasing to view, the bottle and glass are both very well created , I absolutely love the soft tones and the way this almost glows, I really like that your background is in the same tones, this is just beautiful and soothing to view! I love the shape of the bottle with the round stopper and the fancy glass with the handle! Very well presented!
