this is nice, ellen. the reflection on the glass shade is very well done and has great depth. aces!

now, you and jackie are making me think of doing this. but i'm so afraid of the glass, i might not do it justice.

Wooow!!!! This is great. Is it watercolour?
The apples seem to me to be missing a bit of darker shadow at the bottom. But they are all right. The star seems to be that glass and the bottom ring of the lamp which are so well done! Great job. I also like the looseness of the cloth.
I am working on this too. It is damn hard.

That glass looks so real! The loose folds of the cloth are so plump and you got the acid green of the base and the pattern right.

I'm now asking myself why am I doing it again?? @theredcamera

@theredcamera there is a real sense of the shade being glass. I am contemplating something for today. Who knows this may be it!

Love how you have done the glass chimney thingy. The colours are lovely
