Barbara's red flowers and lemons.

Really nicely done Barbara. I think that you've made your painting stronger than the second iteration below. Notice the lighter green fabric and the more integrated shadow shape. The leaves on the left side of the arrangement are more varied and interesting. Notice also that Barbara painted the vase blue which not only is closer that the original image but separates it from the from the flowers well.

I've made just a few notes below.

1. I might consider breaking up the shadow on the ground plane. Cast shadows are typically darkerright under the object casting the shadow. It then lightens and softens as it gets further for the object casting the shadow. I've quickly illustrated this idea using several smaller shapes to emulate the kind of impressionist brush strokes that Barbara uses in other areas of her painting.

2. The bottom of the vase should be more rounded to sit properly on the table top.

3. I might consider putting a little more color back into the iris with a bit more variation.

Nicely done Barbara. You're diligent work is paying off and you're improving in leaps and bounds. I look forward to seeing what you do next.
