Very nice! The colors really pop out from the neutral background. The vase is especially well done!

Beautiful, the flowers really 'explode' out of the vase, and the glass is gorgeous!

Very nice... love the way you carried that beautiful purple vase throughout the whole painting by repeating the color.

OK, I confess, I was thinking that this thread would involve a "cherry" old auto. This is very different. The colors in that vase are just spectacular.

Love it! and it makes me want springtime even more!

Hello. Without even looking at the 'steps', am liking the touches of green in the BG, and orange in the tablecloth to compliment the strong subject colours. Nice work! :) Ed

Nicely done. Great composition and the vase is so well described.

Hi Dan,
This is lovely! I really enjoyed the demo in your website. It was like having a glimpse of your thinking process as you applied one color and then another until you got it to the point you wanted.

[DFGray]

Thanks for the visit Adriana

[Ceci]
