I think peaches are one of the most difficult fruit/subjects to paint with their lack of definate highlight and their "fuzziness" but I think also that you have done a pretty good job here. Bravo!

Ann Baker

This is stunning - your peaches are sublime. I love the subtle color you used.

Lovely.
Did Fantin-Latour ever get round to the peaches shaped like circular buttoned cushions? And can you get them? Wonderful taste,magical appearance - and much less messy to eat! (Well - it's a sort of Feedback!)

Painter’s notes

I always look to Fantin-Latour when painting peaches, I can only think that peach varieties were different in the 19th century!
