Lunch for the Girls by Barry Hulme

Love it.

Messy passages? Where? It's lovely, so understated and soft.

Thank you Seth and Thalia. Not happy with the table cloth and the area under the table which I would have liked to be a little cleaner Thalia.

Like it.

Like the looseness and the lighting.

like the composition and lead in to the focal point , the use of the lampshade to complete the circuit. The eye is well contained within the "interesting portion" - not easy with the looser technique. Like it

Thank you Sandra, Maureen and Mike, I appreciate your comments.

Lovely intimate subject Barry, different to your usual landscape work but you have produced a nice painting.

I think this is fantastic Barry!

I like this Barry, lovely light and shadow. The darks under the table provide the striking contrasts against the softness.

Thank you Stephen, Karen, and Carole, it’s funny that I am associated with landscapes yet do a lot of other subjects, perhaps that suggests that they are the more memorable.

Great painting Barry 👍🏻

I reckon they've dropped food on the floor...i do it all the time, lol!! I know what you mean though, Barry, but if you'd not said I wouldn't have noticed! I agree with Mike, it's got a lot going for it!!
