In the light by Marjorie Firth

It’s a beautiful pastel painting Marjorie I just love those soft colours.

Wow, you were quick off the mark Paul! Thank you.

Ooooh how lovely is that! Super pastel work Marjorie.

Lovely shimmering work.

A glorious soft pastel Marjorie, love everything about it

Excellent Marjorie.

What hit me first was "How romantic" this felt.

Gorgeous Marjorie, I love it.

Very good pastel work Marjorie.

Great work, Marjorie

Delightful!

Lovely pastel Marjorie. Beautiful light effect.

You caught me out there Marjorie, I was trying to work out how you achieved the scumbling effect on the wall, in oils, then read the first comment! Derrrr Like it very much. Are you tempted to visit Ewan’s exhibition?

Impressive artwork.

Love how the light suffuses the entire room and your gentle soft edges, along with the darker tonal values. There is such a lovely elegance emanating from the lace cloth Marjorie and it truly is, such a sophisticated art work.

You've produced terrific work over the years Marjorie but this has to be one of your very best. I love how you've done the sun's rays and how they highlight the flowers and although it's 'in the light' and there are shadows, there's a diffused look about it, only achievable with pastel I feel.

Absolutely gorgeous Marjorie.beautiful colour and just the right amount of detail.

The lighting effect gives an almost ethereal look. Great pastel painting.

Thank you all very much for your lovely comments. It’s always interesting to go back to a medium you haven’t used for quite a while. Fiona, yes, I think we’ll go to Ewan’s exhibition but don’t know when yet.

Wonderful soft colours Marjorie and great detail where it is needed.

What a beauty. Subtle and muted at first glance but there are strong blues in the shadows and yellows in the light. Such an atmosphere

Gorgeous Marjorie-

Thank you Sandra, Martin and Rachel.

This is just such a delight to look at Marjorie. Beautiful soft light and colours. Admirable! The flowers, the jug, that tablecloth....I love it!

Wow, beautiful work!

This is really beautiful, the colours, the light, the texture...

Thank you Diane, Romila and Federico.
