  3. Azra, these tomatoes are luscious and your colors are bright and crisp. I think what you are feeling about the background is that it may be competing a bit. Otherwise a very nice still life.

  7. Nice tweaking! I like that you kept the color values but made the background less busy.

  8. Thankyou Jean,I tried a paler yellow and it ended up making the tomatoes look dull as well.Its amazing how colours can bounce off each other.Vincent van Gogh knew all about it.Have you seen any of his paintings up close?
