Beautifully done...the details are excellent. Expecailly the tray and its items. In pencial, I usually prefer landscapes and people, but it makes me want to create stil lifes again.
Truely wonderful work!!!!!!!!

This is an outstanding work. Your glass and silver are excellent. I think some darker shadows in the cloth folds on the left would balance your values of dark and light.

Excellent work all around...the glass, chrome, cloth - all of them very well rendered. The glass and chrome are almost photogrpahic quality...simply excellent.

Very beautiful, I hate drawing still life but seeing drawings of still life gone right is really making me want to try my hand at it with a positive attitude. Great job on it.

i love the glass and the tray...the pig or teddy bear needs some help...same with the cloth background...the top of the doggie picture is too slanted...but yeah...the glass and tray is real nice...almost real even...the stuff animal kinda ruins the realness...aaa..yeah

backdrift In reply to osi11yrabbit [2005-07-26 14:14:03 +0000 UTC]

thanks for the honest opinion!

I can tell you spent a lot of time o it. personally If it where me I would have gotten bord with the pic. Its very hard for me to spend extended amounts of time on any one piece.
