"SILENT PARTNERS"

Posted by Picasa 8x8" Acrylic and Oil on Canvas
This little painting has been an issue!Funny how paint can humble you! Not sure that the leaves are what I want just yet ~ but I'll live with it for a few days! Im considering removing the fat little leaf at the bottle top and making the stem lighter in that area- any thoughts?

I like this new painting! The clear glass bottles are very nice. I don't think you need to remove the "fat" leaf, but, maybe just change the shape of it. Possibly make it hang down farther--a little behind the top of the bottle, thus making it smaller and a little more to the left. Do you think that might work? You can try it by cutting a piece of paper and putting it there to see how it would look. Your other leaves are good.

Look carefully at the stem in the water and note how the color may change along the stem making some "lost' edges.
Another way of unifying or adding excitement is to add nuances of reflected color in the glass and the white of the table cloth.
