Wow! The limes look so real - actually better than real, Jala! Love the green colors, hot spots and shadows. They are all working so well together like a well-composed concerto. And a good choice of the background color and texture - perfect! You are making me to paint limes for my next project.
Your limes in both mediums are really satisfying. Photos always fall short, but I am loving the purple edges in the shadow and the reflected reds on the limes themselves.
I'm a painter (and writer and Spanish instructor) living in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.

Beautiful! I love the shapes you made with the reflected light and shadows. I also like the movement (by pastel stroke) around the limes. Nice.

Very nice work here too, love the subtle shifts in color and value the pastels offer.
I adore your pastels.
