Hello Andrey,

It certaily looks good for a first piece.
Is everything done on the reverse side of the glass?
It looks like the gilding is on the front side of the glass.
Maybe a few close ups?

Good luck on your next piece.

Andrey

You did a fine job. Now all you need to do... is frame it and hang it on your wall.
Sure I paint thing for my amusement and then offer them for sale. A brushslinger could whither en die from lack of creativity in this plastic town my horse threw a shoe in. :shock:
