strawberries and pears in wedgewood bowl

Just finished this 8 x 10" piece. This was the first time I have painted this bowl. I really like the contrast between it and the strawberries. I also like the shadow the cherry blossoms created on the backdrop. Kind of getting weary of still lifes. Have couple of comission pieces I am going to work on for friends. Little kid pics. That will be a fun change of pace.

    the direction of lighting is depicted in a super manner...
    the highlights on the fruits and glass is beautiful...
    the transparent and fragile look of the glassware is fantastic...
