Your artwork is good.
The colors are nice but a little subdued for me.
A nice simple presentation with good composition.
Fine artistic style.
Good perspective.
A well-crafted image.

Thank you for taking the time to review my work. I agree that the colors could have been a bit more vibrant. I will take that point into consideration the next time I create a still life of this type of subject matter. I appreciate your constructive feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to review my work. I wanted to convey to the audience a sense of real life and spirituality with this still life. Soft chalk pastels are some of my favorite media to work with and helped me achieve this. Thanks as always for your review of my work.

This is a very well made still-life painting made from soft pastels! The depiction of the multitudes of fruits with multitude of shapes against smooth background makes interesting viewing. Overall a fine painting. Good effort! Good luck!

Thanks for your generous review of my work. Soft chalk pastels are one of my favorite mediums to work in. I love the sense of subtlety, depth and drama they give to the subject matter. Thank you again for your review of my work.
Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Excellent choice of subject.
Aptly captured for the contest theme... Fine features & smooth textures.
Harmonious color scheme.
Compact framing draws viewers attention right into the
Detailed strokes.
Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for your generous comments on this piece. When I decided to create it wanted to convey a sense of home and intimacy as well as a sense of spirituality to the viewer. The way I composed the fruit and my use of colo, light and shadow helped me achieve this. As always, thank you for your review.

I love the composition and colours here, and your use of light and shade is spot on. Nice complementary background - a real feast for the eyes and the soul.

Beautiful still life piece, very well rendered with beautiful colors and tones, beautiful detail in each of the fruits, I like the orange sliced in half with the knife in front of it, the grapes, apples and the pear, show such realistic detail, very well arranged with nice lighting , very well presented!

Thanks for your great comments TootieH20. I was careful to use colors that compliment one another and the scene as a whole. The proper amount of light and shadow give this piece an air of spirituality. Thank you again for your review.
