Wow!  It doesn't get any more realistic than this!  I truely admire your ability to make a work of art such as this.  I look forward to seeing more!

This is very well done.  I wish I could see it in person.

Are you back in the garage?  The realism in your paintings is powerful. My eye follows the brushes to the blue tape which guides my eye up and into the line of paints and then your title makes me search for the wayward red.  Your work is always interesting.

A wonderful piece of work!  I use to paint in oils years ago but didn't know how to do detailed work.  How do you get such detail using oils?    Jim

Thanks Abbie, this was a fun painting to complete and a challenge to depict accurately given the different drawer levels and colors.

Nice detail and shadows.  Great sense of depth.

Thanks Randy! (Looking back on the initial sketch of this scene, I'd have liked the gray BG to be weaker and the browns to be stronger.)
