Lovely work, Marjorie. Full of light and charm.

You’ve captured their contemplative expressions very well Marjorie.

A very sensitive rendition Marjorie, lovely.

Skillfully painted Marjorie, super subject and yes, those expressions are beautifully captured.

Charming Marjorie. A family one to keep forever.

A wonderful painting - if it was a commission am sure they're delighted. One to keep forever.

Not a commission, just a challenge for me - youngest grandson with his grandpa. Thanks everyone for the comments.

Does not look as if you struggled at all, Marjorie, looks as if it just rolled effortlessly on to your support!. Lovely work, particularly like the way the book highlights their intent faces.

Thanks Thalia - if only you could have been a fly on the wall, or better not!

Marjorie since attempting a self portrait, I have nothing but admiration for anyone who has the patience, tenacity and skill to create a likeness of their subject. Beautifully done.

Such lovely subjects your portraits Marjorie . This is just delightful .

Lovely tender painting, Marjorie.

Lovely tender family scene well painted, Marjorie.

Fiona, I don't know why but I am pretty dogged once I get the bit between my teeth, even if it's a struggle. Thanks a lot, Sylvia, Margaret and Cesare , too.

Perfect expressions well painted Marjorie,

This looks really well painted and I 'm sure you have achieved the right expressions.. It is so hard to get likenesses - I'm finding that at the moment!

Lovely, Marjorie, a super portrait!

Thank you Lesley and Ruth. Maureen, I find it easy to start and then, in the blink of an eye, I've lost something. Working through the middle phase is the hard bit, constantly changing and adjusting. It's certainly good to stand back or set it aside and start something else. I started and finished something else before I came back to this one.

Fabulous Marjorie

Absolutely delightful, Marjorie!
