I agree with Laure that touches of other colors rather than so much grey (sometimes we have to take artistic license). I especially like the reflections on the back side of the bowl on left.<br /> <br />I would not have had the backdrop go from red to white right along the left edge of the vase. It brings too much attention to that spot. I think just a little one way or the other would be better. ... but maybe you were supposed to paint excactly what you saw. <br /><br />Good job on a difficult subject!Elva Paulsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642197019054496596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061571236470916248.post-58410132292723175002010-07-19T23:37:38.884-04:002010-07-19T23:37:38.884-04:00What a beautiful painting!

The pink "material" looks like a piece of velvet and steals the show from the crystal. The crystal is well drawn and it reads as glass. The top of the tall vase is especially well done. <br /><br />Crystal reflects EVERYTHING around it - greens, blues, purples, yellows reds, etc., and I really don't see too much of those colors in either piece of crystal. I would love to see the grayed blues, greens and purples in place of some of the grayed grays. <br /><br />Crystal is one of those wonderfully reward subjects to paint as well as crazy-making trying to get all the facets to read right and to "glint" as glass does. BRAVO to you for tackling it! <br /><br />A wonderful piece!Laure Ferlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966163843633158039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061571236470916248.post-39710567301627026272010-07-19T16:34:35.227-04:002010-07-19T16:34:35.227-04:00Wowee Brinda, it is gorgeous!!
