- Painting Process:I planned on simplifying the forms and making a design with the colors of the sunset and cloth. I wanted the goblet to be the central focus so I placed it right in the middle. This was a fun painting to do.

- Painting Process: I had planned to keep the background light but found the goblet did not show well so attempted to redo the background. Not a good idea! I also realized that I had placed the goblet too far to the left and the composition was poor. A good learning experience.

personnaly i prefer the first painting version : colors of the sky and the place of the trophy: i found it more fun , really....
Nothing is lost in any painting, you have some nice reflections and we all struggle with composition. Great effort.
Each painting is very beautiful. I love the freshness of the painting #1. The landscape in the background looks so enchanting.
The painting #2 is also very beautiful and it tells of superb brushwork by a seasoned artist.
Congratulations on both Shirley.
Just a thought.. your painting #2 definitely is very lovely and captivating. But perhaps in your next painting you would like to experiment with the Golden Mean instead of placing the focus in the center?
I love this one - esp the striking colors in the sky. You killed it! Beautiful.
Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. I do so enjoy seeing them and considering your points to help me paint better each time.
