Beautiful colors, very good job on the pottery and flowers! Interseting background without detracting from composition.
Very nice painting!

Hi, this is a lovely piece. I love the tea pot. My only thought on how to improve it would be to put a highlight on the lemon.

Lovely! Very nice rendering of the teapot, vase and lemon.

A delightful painting. I spent ages looking at it – which is good because you have enough interest to hold the attention. I like the warmth of the background colours in contrast to the cool teapot and the vase. All very well done – I always have trouble if I draw things free hand – in getting true symmetry – so well done. A little unsure of the lemon as it seems unrelated.
I really like it .

Well exicuted and pleasant subject, a bit ‘choc-boxy’ for me but I love you use of colour and technical skills.

I really like it. Your colors are beautiful. Great subject. Good work!

Nice colour!
2 suggestions – the tea pot handle kissing the vase makes me unsure as to which is further in the distance, perhaps make the leaf overlap the handle to help describe the depth of the vase compared with the tea pot. Some dont like kissing elements in composition but of course who likes rules? The right edge of the blue vase appears wider than the left edge making the vase off balance, maybe fade this edge into the background.

Hi Jean,
I am a little late in getting to these critiques due to many things “on my plate”!
My first reaction to your painting is that you have a good command of painting in oil! Your colors are clean and not overworked, and the grays in the background offer a nice contrast to the beautiful way you painted the shapes in the foreground.
I do have a few things to say about the composition of your painting. You have three tangents in your painting. They are where the green leaf JUST touches the handle of the teapot, the blue vase JUST touches the handle of the teapot, and the lemon JUST touches, or appears to JUST touch the lower bottom edge of the teapot. By OVERLAPPING these shapes, or as I always tell my students, “have your shapes take BITES out of other shapes”, you will end up having a much stronger composition. David also mentioned this in his comments to you.
Maybe also have that red flower a little lower in the vase closer to the teapot, closer to the center of interest. It seems a bit bright to be up so high in the composition. A nice highlight on the lemon would also be a nice touch, as Shirle stated.
You have a nice flare for painting in oil and your use of color is very good. Keep painting! Thank you for sharing with all of us!
Ingrid
