The bottle, leaves and beet roots are all soft and round, so it adds a bit of variety.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182172053719753528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425410137498286003.post-52064608469369806152012-03-21T21:32:19.211-04:002012-03-21T21:32:19.211-04:00This is lovely.This is lovely.Sue Harrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331476269238169228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425410137498286003.post-77835452910723763352012-03-21T21:32:02.970-04:002012-03-21T21:32:02.970-04:00Love the beets... love the twist tie.... love the ...Love the beets... love the twist tie.... love the bottle.... and... stems end abruptly on beets that come with twist ties...

I think the colors or more soft and muted than usual and is a quiet "still" life.<br /><br />I hadn't noticed the turnips until you mention the stem. To me that is fine. Now the turnips seem a horizontal element and maybe if leaves were added it emphasize a more vertical look and not as quite. One thing I noticed that you didn't mention is the top of the bottle where one left shoulder appears a little higher than the right.<br /> <br />However, this is a very good painting.

My eye went right to the twist tie. I love this painting. It IS about quiet, but there is some intrigue too. I wouldn't touch it. It's gorgeous just the way it is.Karen Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219465750662732796noreply@blogger.com
