One orange

Comments

Simply beautiful!

Really super Marjorie. Another great oil pastel still life.

I rarely look at names on the gallery I look at the pics ,this jumped out straight away. It’s lovely. I should have known it was you Marjorie.

Excellent Marjorie, you certainly have those oil pastels working well for you .

You do material so well Marjorie

Really good Marjorie, love the piece of pottery so well done.

Beautifully rendered Marjorie.

Love the way you have used oil pastels here Marjorie. The urn is so good with the blue inside the top and the rich folds in the fabric. The orange with its sheen, contrasts so well against the blue.

Wonderful, Marjorie!

Super Marjorie and great texture and folds to the fabric.

I love the textures. Terrific!

Beautifully painted still life, lovely sheen to the fabric

This is great, Marjorie.

Lovely painting 🖼

So kind of everyone to comment…thank you so much!

Not so simple maybe, so much texture in the fabric that you can almost touch it. Beautifully done Marjorie.

Excellent Marjorie, I especially like the drapery, beautiful colours.

Wow, Marjorie this is amazing. Fabulous oil pastel.

This jumped of the page Marjorie, love the pot and all the colours and textures in the fabric.

As I scrolled down, before I reached your name I knew this beautiful work was yours.

Wonderful textures Marjorie, you are creating some truly lovely paintings with your few oil pastels. Have you gessoed the support before applying the pastels, it’s given the cloth such life.

Thank you Willie, Russell, Ellen, Katy, Gudrun and Fiona...I 've just been doing what I fancy, relaxing instead of giving myself a challenge. The orange in the light attracted me but also one of my favourite jugs. And yes, Fiona, black gesso applied roughly on MDF.

BLACK gesso?! You naughty girl 😱 great effect!

Fiona, get some! It’s great, I highly recommend it.🖤

Super Marjorie, love it 😍

Great use of oil pastels, Marjorie, and good composition.
