It's nice to have the chance to critique a traditional piece, as photography seems to rule the world these days.

The best attribute to this work is definitely the fruit. They look very real and the shading is spot on on these objects and I can tell what each one is. This is sometimes difficult to do in black and white and specially in the paint medium.

I do have a few pointers. As I know paint is much harder, or just different, to work with, I will be keeping this in mind.

The first thing I noticed is something that is easily forgotten. Notice how your objects seem to be floating? I noticed in your other still life studies you added the counter and a wall in the back, don't forget these. They are extremely important in grounding your objects and giving them existence.

Another thing that is quite noticeable when shading an open cylinder is the inside's shadows. You put the dark predominately on the right side. If the light is coming from above and to the left it would be hitting this area. You just need to flip flop the shaded parts on the inside of this mass. It seems as though you forgot to put the right outer side of this object in shadow as well, that side can not be forgotten

One last thing is the cast shadows. Shadows are normally much darker in tone. Once you put in a value for the table in which all of your objects are sitting, the darker tone for the shadows will seem much more natural. Also when forming the shadow its self there is sort of a method. Shadows aren't necessarily all one value. The darkest part of a shadow is that that is absolute closest to the object casting the shadow. From there it tends to fade out. In many cases (and the way I learned to form shadows) the lightest part is in the middle of the cast shadow. There isn't a huge value difference, it's just slight, but it will make your shadows look more realistic.

As far as composition goes, you seem to have the objects arrange pretty well. The only thing I can suggest is to make the objects larger so that some are partly cropped out of the scene. This, obviously, is just a matter of opinion but I do thin it makes all compositions more interesting and easier to focus on because there is less empty space to get lost in.

So far your one point perspective is coming along, you're doing well with it. I can't wait to see you move into two and three point perspective as well. Keep up your great work and continue working in paint, it seems to suit you well.
