I too love the texture you’ve emphasized in the fruit… particularly the lemon. I also like the way you minimally painted the ground cloth, but introduced just enough mark making to move me and unify the painting.
I love that you didn’t feel you had to make the bowl perfectly round. It’s a little wonky with a lot of character. You’ve also used bold colors which is a nice contrast to the neutral background and foreground. You’ve made a whole lot of progress, I think.
Amy wow. You’ve got things popping, nice values on the fruit.

These are great, you nailed the colors and values.
I agree! These are very tactile. I feel as though I could reach in and pick up that lemon!

I really like the three different colors of fruit, and the way you handled the bowl.
The colors and values are spot on! What a beautiful painting! Loving the little bowl and the way the fabric folds in the foreground.
I agree with Deb. They look 3 dimensional! Incredible!
