Thank you Micheal for valuable critique. Appreciate. I keep your advice in mind next time when I paint a similar thing.

Oops, sorry Dr. Chandana ... I accidentally typed Mario's name.  Critique is for your painting and you.

Mario, good job on the tulips and lace ... but the vase needs form .. it is to flat.  Note the color and value of the cast shadow of the vase upon the white lace .. your vase is also white, therefore, it would have the same value and color for its body shadow.  Where the body shadow meets the light Parr of the vase, you need a half tone ..use your background color for that.  You will also need some reflected light bouncing into the body shadow .. you could also use your background color for that.  Then put in an occlusion shadow under the edge of the vase where it meets the shadowed lace.   Now you will have form.
