Primary Bottle

Primary Bottle a photo by rudimyers on Flickr.

This is my fourth oil painting. I put three bottles on a brown wicker tray. I decided to exaggerate and draw them extra large. I placed red and yellow construction paper behind the bottles because I wanted a colorful background and needed the paper to help draw the distortion/reflection. Please let me know what I can do to improve. Thank you!

This is my third oil painting. I am learning as I go and realizing snow is ... well, just durn hard to paint. Unfortunately, I will be out of town until Sunday. Maybe that will be a good thing as I can look at this with fresh eyes at that time.

This is my second oil painting. I don't think I am a realist (grin). Anyway, I was inspired to do this one from a picture I took of my older son. He was sitting under the window in a blue chair engaged in his handheld Nintendo.

Please feel free to leave constructive criticisms. I need help in improving my work!
