What a beauty! Spent some time admiring the edges in this. Masterful strokes. Those you can't plan. They are the result of rote skill. One can tell because it doesn't just happen once, it's going on all over the painting. That afterglow to the top of the bowl makes me crazy.

This is a real beauty--love the shadow on the plate.
Love the way you painted the red in the pear. Lovely harmony with the plate.
Beautiful composition and colors!
So many beautiful things are happening in the dramatic painting, Celeste...Let me count thy ways.....Nah...too darn many! Love it!
Tried to leave a clever comment...don't think it went through. Now I forgot what it was...Lol! So I'll just say, Great painting!
Wow! Very dramatic with your rich colors! Love it!
Hallie stole my thunder; I was going to clap for the shadow.
this is really beautiful Celeste. I tried a painting today as well with red and green complements but mine got wiped.
Very nice. Love the composition. Has a kind of "zen" feel.
wow. nice!
