    The composition fills the page and makes a nice diagonal line from the top lefthand corner to the bottom right along the tops of the glassware. By adding a piece tablecloth reaching off the page on the bottom left, and having another piece reaching off towards the right, continuing the existing outline and coming up a bit, the composition would become even more dynamic because of the crossed diagonals. I think the composition is headed in the right direction, but I also think it could work even better if the eye was pulled all the way to the edges of the page.
    I love the loose mark-making in the glassware, although I wish some of the marks were more defined to exaggerate the ‘broken colour’ effect. It would add balance to the piece as a whole, as there is lots of contrast in the tablecloth that visually outweighs the shadows in the glass. There is a full range of tone, but I would’ve liked to see more darker tones in the glasses themselves, even just small pieces. The 3-dimensionality is expressed very well regardless, especially in folds and shapes in the tablecloth, and at the top of the left glass.
