I was really taken with this vase, which inspired me to paint it along with the peonies. I used various hues of mixed blacks as well as some ivory black Your comments or critiques are very welcome. It's in oil on 16x12 in, 40x30 cm canvas.

Thanks very much, Christine. I agree with all your perceptive comments, and will make some changes.
P.S. I saw this vase at the Royal Opera House and was really taken with it.

Hi Michael,
I just saw on the VAA website that you have left. That is so sad because you were always such an inspiration and good teacher. I am sure you are a big loss to the VAA website. Hope you are well and will still keep painting.
Best wishes

This is beautiful Michael. Very Impressionistic! I love the way you have done the reflection on the glass.
Thank you again for your kind words, Marie.
OK, I take back all my comments on your landscape (the bg and all) cause you clearly have a tight grasp of what I was referring to. Dang, I should have opened this discussion before I opened my yap. Really, really nice painting. And speaking og backgrounds, your's here is perfect. I love the subtle variation in texture from bottom to top. I don't even know if I'm putting the the right way. Anyhow...man, you're good at this stuff.
Thank you very much, Reid - I really appreciate your comments, Reid.
