Sorry you're not entering, Donna.
Very nice painting, Heide! I love the variety in the flowers.

Nope, I haven't seen it yet either. Heather, thanks so much for pulling this all together for us.

I went back to the beginning of the thread to see what I might have missed...WOW!...I am blown away by all the entries!

LisaM- How did I miss your Coffee Pot??? I love your color choices against the black ground. Very nice!

Muriel- Your entry is amazing. I love that you recreated Cezanne's item for item! My favorite thing is the shell, but the whole thing rocks!

Heide- I have a hard time putting into words how your painting makes me feel. It's like I'm looking at someone with a split personality. It is beautiful and there is such a softness, but there is precision and exactness behind it. I absolutely love it. It's the same way I feel about the painting you made of my dog Isis in the pet swap.

I think I already commented on the rest, but let me say again...WOW! What a great showing everyone!!

edited to add that if I did miss anyone, I apologize!!

Yes, three cheers for Heather! (or maybe more...)

All the entries are wonderful; I bet the competition will be heated! It would be nice to have a mention of it in the forum header with a link to incite people to go and vote! These challenges don't always get the response they deserve when it comes time to vote...

Thank you Beth! Yes, I like the shell best as well. I had fun doing it. I have quite a few shells in the house, so this makes me want to do more. I had a hell of a time with the cup and saucer, sigh... I love this particular cup; my friend Mo gave it to me many years ago, and that's why I picked it. I have some stoneware mugs from Colonial Williamsburg that would have been easier!

O well. This painting makes me feel good. I don't think I had painted a still life since high school, so I feel I did OK.

I just love seeing all the variety of style and techniques. It has been awhile since I have done a still life which is actually my favorite genre,,,,,,,, I am glad the crazy one pushed me to participate in this challenge.

That Heather

Ugg! Circles are HARD to paint! LOL, I'd like cube shaped veggies, too, easier to cut without cutting myself
