Hi Dor I like the way you have handled the furit slices. THe leaves on the left worry me a little with no stem and seem to be floating in space. Also the colour is a little too light for realism I think . I have made the same mistake and when I look at mine they are def too light almost looking like shadows!!! I am learning though and like you am loving learning through Richards crits and the interaction with other students who all seem so very good. well done

Hi Dor,

I have not been on here in a while, been painting my oranges still life also, will post today, maybe tmw.  This is teh one I like best of yours, the second try, not the fourth.  Do Away With the Stripes!  :)  Just being honest.  I like the blue curtain better than the stripes.  It has too much competition with the setup itself.  Thanks for commenting on my watercolor, since I have no comments. I don't mind.  It looks like something that I colored in a coloring book!

Looking good... the orange slice in front of the pitcher is missing a reflection on the pitcher.  Like the oranges and red apple... I am going to paint mine tmw!
