Re: cherry bomb

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

Did you have a blast at the Olympics?

Re: cherry bomb

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

Re: cherry bomb

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

Re: cherry bomb

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.

Re: cherry bomb

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
