absolutely lovely - no more finishing touches Marjorie.

lovely Marjorie its nice how the red is picked up in the pot

Looks great to me, Marjorie! You've captured the different textures so well...

Thanks very much for the comments, Val-Irene, Dennis and Jan.

I think this is just right - lovely touches, Marjorie

Smashing piece Marjorie, love the colours and the shadow, the folds in the cloth give a real sense of movement and contrast against the straight edge of the table, looks fine to me without any more touches.

Perfect as it is Marjorie.

amazing pastel, Marjorie, I like much this one, the vase is superb!

Not bad Marjorie,lass, not bad at all. It does not need any more work on it. Colours and tone are excellent. All it needs now is a mount and a frame.

Never really got into pastels Marjorie, but this is excellent work.

excellent Marjorie very accomplished .I especially like the lost and found edges throughout, the whole composition is bathed in light and look at the handling of the fabric !!

This is superb Marjorie, it looks just fine to me, good shadows.

Beautiful pastel paintiing Marjorie .Love the delicate and the striking colours and skillful shadows.

Thank you all so much for the comments. This was done for a friend who wanted a square format of an earlier oil. I haven't added anything more yet, it would only be a touch more of red design on the left side of the vase.

I agree with the other comments, Marjorie: this is great!

Thankyou very much Jennifer and Mia!

Beautiful work on a very tricky subject

Fabulous piece, Marjorie! Love the elegant simplicity of the arrangement and the beautifully subtle palette.

A lovely pastel Marjorie,

Thankyou very much, Dermot, Seok and David.

A lovely pastel composition not requiring anything else doing in my opinion.

Thanks Lesley, I added a suggestion of dark red to the left and it just seemed to balance it more.

Thanks again Gudrun.

Pastel on Canson mi-teintes, 12"x12". Possibly a few finishing touches to do, I'll decide tomorrow.
