Wonderful painting, Marjorie! What a great style, and I love the composition...

I like this flat style, creates a nice bit of tension for the eye. Well constructed Marjorie.

Very nicely done Marjorie.

This is so different for you Marjorie. Love your use of palette knife and the cats look so noble.

Aww beautiful cats. Very good composition. Love that fox mug! 😍

It is a great style Marjorie and beautifully painted.

Thank you, Jan, Karen, Paul, Carole, Faye and Denise. I enjoyed using those colours!

I like this concept a lot, not that I’d adopt it myself but you’ve done a splendid job here - the cats being the focal point of attention!

Very successful Marjorie - great subject and love the colours.

Thanks, Dympna and Alan. No, it’s not my natural way of working but it’s enjoyable to do something in a different style - whether it becomes “ incorporated” in one’s natural way of working is something to think about. Whether or not we are aware of it, we must all take something from every piece of art we study - just meandering a bit here🤔

Absolutely love this, Marjorie, especially the slightly quirky abstraction.

This is fabulous and very eye catching

I like this set up Marjorie, the black and orange shades reminds me of Art Deco.

I love this, Marjorie. It zings.

Like this style, Marjorie, lovely composition and colours.

Brilliant, great style & I love the cats. Love the way they are disdainfully turning away from you! Thats cats for you!!

Posted by Jean Harris on Fri 07 Jan 08:21:10

Well done Marjorie. The style of painting and colours work really well.

Posted by Christine Rogan on Fri 07 Jan 09:01:59

I love this, Marjorie.

I don't usually like this "flat" style, it confuses my poor brain, but I find this one of yours very appealing Marjorie. I rather like it.

Posted by Val Kenyon on Fri 07 Jan 15:45:47

Really like the arrangement and palette Marjorie.

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Fri 07 Jan 17:25:10

Thanks for all the lovely comments, I would love to do another similar one.

Posted by Marjorie Firth on Fri 07 Jan 17:32:57

Great composition Marjorie. It's made an excellent painting.

Anne Strulo inspired me to have a go in a “ flat” style. These are my daughter’s cats, sitting on the worktop, surveying their territory. Palette knife.
