"Intbel" ... "Can't" is not an option.
Compliance is futile. Resistance is futile. Just do your own thing an' ignore 'em.
You have a wonderful technique. There is still something with the cloth that is out of place to the rest of the piece. I think it is the edges, either too stiff or would look better with a frayed edge or some detail like stitching along the edge, blanket stitch or other to complete the old-world charm.
Wonderful image.
BTW, we try hard to ignore the fly in the ointment around here. The rest of us love your work.
Every day's a new day, "draw" on what you've learned.

I believe the Topic is Derek's still life image. May I also request that we try to maintain an atmosphere of cooperation.

Derek, what a superb illustration! ALL of your work has this "other worldly" kind of feel to it. Great job - again!

Masque,
STUNNING work! Beautiful colors too!!! Only observation that I can add (and again keep in mind that this is probably just my bad eyes) is somehow the vegetables all seem to be too crisp around the edges. the contrast is too much between them and the imagery that surrounds them. My eyes just want to soften the edges a tiny fraction perhaps giving them added depth or something. I can't quite put my finger on it.
Again,....as it stands,...it looks fantastic.
Par boiled the veg to soften it a little and unravelled the edges of the cloth for Sally.
