Daffs in the light

Comments

You are producing some admirable work with your restricted palette Marjorie. You certainly have a lovely range of blue/greens. The touches of light and colour are gorgeous.

Brilliant oil pastel work Marjorie. Love the light on the vase and daffs.

Ah thank you Fiona - feeling a bit dissatisfied…too mean to really lay on the pastel! Oh, it’s only money!

Thanks Carole. I bought 5 chunky Sennelier oil pastels to try - nearly £8 each. More for large work really.

Wonderful, you ‘do’ light so well Marjorie, great still life.

Wow Marjorie this is so good , you really are great at still life paintings . The light on the glass is excellent and you manage the darks so well.

Lovely pastel work Marjorie. I’m regretting giving mine away now.

I think we can all recognise your work now Marjorie without checking the name underneath. Great colours and reflections but once again the highlights are the highlight, everyone perfectly placed. Beautiful work!
