Your painting style is wonderful, the various tiny hints of discoloration (ie; bluetones on an otherwise brown violin) really add so much vibrance and richness to this piece.

You seem to have a good handle on depth as well, the way the blue cloth gets darker behind the violin makes the viewer focus on the bright contrast of the violin and sheet music.

The composition overall should also be noted, because while the piece is somewhat simple in vision (it is a still life after all), the various shapes (the rectangle sheet music, the long bow, the triangle of white background and finally complex violin) pull together and are highlighted by the textures of the shapes. For example the wall and cloth have ornate designs and patterns that give them interest and finesse.

I can't really bring myself to offer anything even nitpicking-wise. The style in which this is done doesn't call for super finite detailing and I actually prefer this piece as a free flowing impression anyway.

As far as I'm concerned this is top-notch work; I would love to see this skill applied to something apart from still-life. :heart:
