I just love that soft effect you paint with as well as the colour palette. Warm and embracing.

Gorgeous....so soft and pretty...

Really nice pallet Marjorie, love the pots and the contouring of them, I think the flowers and foliage are really nicely done, a nice gentle tone overall, nice one.

Love the diffused look Marjorie, it's full of charm.

This is lovely, a beautifully soft painting.

There's nothing quite like a terracotta pot of geraniums they just ask to be painted! Love these Marjorie.

Now that IS interesting...love the arrangement, soft browns and bright reds, but what's all that clutter around the picture?

Gorgeous palette, Marjorie, and a beautiful composition. Lovely!

It's a beauty Marjorie. Well done.

Posted by Henry Martin on Mon 01 Aug 05:52:09

Clutter indeed! No, I had to take down the edited pic because the focus got lost ( l just upload from I pad ). Thankyou too Jennifer and Henry.

A great couple of hours well spent Marjorie, this is delightful.

Oil on board, 24cm X 30cm. Sat at the front door this morning and painted for a couple of hours. The actual colours are warmer, even though I photo'd it outside.
