i thought the picture was lovely and warming. It attracts you in, but the back ground makes it seem sad.

Good, but kind of drab. I like your use of colours, with exception of the background. It makes the whole picture look sad.

When I was a little girl (60 years ago) and my artist mother would take me to the Toledo, Ohio Museum of Art, I would walk right up to the paintings and look at the brush strokes. I wanted to see how it was done. Mother wanted me to stand back and admire the picture as a whole. I haven't changed and this site and these paintings, especially the Rachel Ruysch, have enabled me to "see the brush strokes" I will be forever grateful that I have lived long enough to partake in the joys of your site and the many others on the net.

It is warm paiting and the colours are so wonderful it remainds me of my grandmothers house in the sunny afternoons when I had to sleep.

I really like this painting, and I think her use of bright colours on a dark background is very effective.

The combination of colours,composition, detail and amazing light makes the roses look so strong and yet so fragile. Wonderful.

The roses seem to be pushing everything else aside, especially the poor sunflowers at the bottom. It's amazingly strong and arresting.
