It's so rewarding to know that at the end of a painting, I have friends who will inspire me to keep painting and striving to improve my craft.claire christinelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804783229167368897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753477937184474897.post-77774328631214726662010-12-15T18:18:57.182-08:002010-12-15T18:18:57.182-08:00Love the brightness of this painting, Claire! I do...Love the brightness of this painting, Claire! I don't find it too tight . . .<br />I tend to get very literal with still-lifes, especially when I'm told that I need to paint what I see. To make a good painting, I think, is as you said: editing, creating a flow, exaggerating lights or darks to create some drama, edges and paint-handling. If each object in a set-up has the same intensity and weight (and they pretty much do in a set-up), then I find I'm just trying to faithfully paint objects instead of making a painting. It's my continuing focus, amidst the many other things to keep in mind! Good advice about choosing an artwork to assess yourself against. The more aware we are, the quicker it'll become second nature. Nice gift for your friend!Lorraine Shirkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289581724600276889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753477937184474897.post-59041694015009550412010-12-15T03:48:14.578-08:002010-12-15T03:48:14.578-08:00I like this painting, Claire.

Les franges apportent toute l'intensité et la profondeur à votre toile.<br />Ainsi on peut sentir vos pots plus à distance de vos fruits... Les couleurs sont très harmonieuses et la lumière pénètre parfaitement et inonde bien votre sujet. <br />Bonne continuation...<br />Bisous<br />Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil message.martinealisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055152925986659065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753477937184474897.post-45533699328963669762010-12-15T00:56:42.703-08:002010-12-15T00:56:42.703-08:00Very good!

I have accepted it and maybe someday in the future that will evolve into something looser but for now I'm really enjoying it. I love the leaves coming out of the crock. It's a great composition. I'm sure the recipient will be thrilled with their gift:)Carrie Waller Watercolorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950677994996699686noreply@blogger.com
