  Excellent work Ms. Seput. Hummm....I'm doing cherries also...lol. #-o
  I like yours so much better then mine. Your realism is hot Shirley.
  
  Truthfully, I don't see why 8 x 8 could be hard for you. You can paint just about anything in my book. After that Tiffany printing, I see it down hill for you. =D> >:D< :x

  I particularly like the mood and the detail on the cloth!
  Obviously cherries are awesome... spherical objects have no secret for you B-)

  Here's mine. It's 10x10 on stretched canvas. I worked from the set-up. I enjoyed painting the skull. The cloth, not so much

  "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".
  I just had to scream when I saw the pieces above. Cynthia, Ronna and Shirley, you guys are just crazy good. I mean, it's actually frustratingly good when a simpleton like me sees how you come up with the goods week after week. Are you taking a special something, a secret solution like in the film limitless where the actor Bradley Cooper takes a pill and suddenly uses more of his brain and becomes super smart and does these amazing things? Tell me you are, and I'll sleep well Xxx.

  Very well done! I especially like how you rendered the light passing through the hole in the upper jawbone and also the "old" look of the pages of the book.

  I think this is chiaroscuro. I hope it is. "The Bedouin's Mare" I used a photo from an old pictures site that has copyright free photos, and also a photo I took of a horsie.

  Beautiful Sue...gee...after seeing your painting, Ronna's and Cynthia's...did I miss something with mine by putting in lots of color?

  thanks, no, I don't think so Savvie. I think it just has to show like it's coming out of the shadows, regardless of color amount.
