Pierre, this is a visual feast! I gasped when your page opened. The rich reds are powerful against the dark background and the blues in the glass. I especially love the light green leaf that stands out in contrast to the surrounding darkness and as a compliment to the gorgeous reds.

Bravo!

Hi Nicki, thank you for your detailed appreciation. Once again, tonal variations on the real painting are more subtle and softer than it may appear on the photograph but the general vibrancy is pretty close.
Have a great week!

Omigoodness...was taken aback by the realism you've rendered in this piece, and for that matter all of your other pieces. Magnificent. Your still lifes are exceptional - BRAVO!! I've viewed pieces you've posted with awe and thought this was about time I commented. I absolutely love your work.

Salut Emmanuel. Effectivement, la grisaille de l'hiver qui s'achève me donne envie de couleurs toniques.
Merci pour ton commentaire!

Pardon Pierre, j'avais oublié de te dire que je trouve les transparences sur le verre de l'assiette et de la coupe, sont remarquables.... Encore bravo. Emmanuel
