Nice soft edges on the flowers and the grapes and apple appear translucent.

I love the white flowers and the soft edges of them with the grey and yellow background.<br />It is not easy to paint a still life that was not self-installed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34303509.post-25078068678264599912011-02-13T14:58:49.603-08:002011-02-13T14:58:49.603-08:00Bravo Nancy!

I have not tried to paint from my computer screen, but I digress. I love the light to dark/warm to cool. I am not sure how much softer you want you grapes to be. I can see their weight and feel they work as they are. I am enjoying your progress :-)Gaylynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151910557587598472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34303509.post-84529310484661312902011-02-13T07:07:30.605-08:002011-02-13T07:07:30.605-08:00Thank you Celeste.

I was always a little concerned about those flowers ... when in doubt, use a palette knife *grin, anyway I've used one before and it helped with my concern. Also, I wanted some soft edges and it worked out with that also. Not sure how I would have gotten more soft edges with all those grapes, but I'll figure it out.<br /><br />Sylviane, thank you so much for your comment. I'm a slow study and take gobs of notes. Forgetting the notes then hunting all over for where I put my notes... geesh. Again, thank you. I feel I for a 1 day workshop I got my moneys worth.<br /><br />Linda, thats so nice of you. You are an inspiration. Thomas mentioned that I was the only one to put in part of the window and he was pleased. Whew, I got on the teachers good side.
