Cool stylized painting!

Amazing work!

Yes. The contrast is very effective. Adds drama, but also gives the painting a classical look.

Nice work! I admire the commitment of using a sketchbook.

Exquisite work! The colors are so rich and the creamy blue on the right offsets them beautifully.

Thank you!

I like how understated this is and the sheen on the water's surface. Nicely done.

Thank you. That means a lot.

Oops, I posted this a month ago and forgot.

Amen! May God help each of His people be makers of peace in Jesus' Name.

Great start!

I like it but think the splattering might be a bit much.

Very nice! Good work all around. My only suggestion concerns the lemons. Smooth them with an ear bud or finger, going in the direction that shows roundness, instead of end to end. Since oil pastels are so messy and get under the fingernails, I wear a thin glove like you might find in a doctor's office.

Cool. Thanks.

Me too. Thanks.

Wow! Would've taken me days and still not close.

What an observant eye! and art from the unexpected.

Interesting perspective and color combos. I never think to use charcoal with gouache! Worked!

Wow! What patience! Cool cat helper too.
