No no that's my painting table Marjorie. Smashing work and the subject doesn't searching for. Great knife work and mix of techniques.

Yea I like this Marjorie. No no, that's my table Derek! Long as you can fit a cup of tea on it.

I think you are a neat worker, Marjorie. My painting corner of the study is an absolute tip. Very good painting - very real and a perfect way of answering the question "What shall I paint today?" ....it's in front of me! Lovely, I especially like the use of "whites" to give a free, lively feel

A really good still life Marjorie - sometimes the most ordinary things make very effective images and this is very effective.

Very, very nice and in front of all of us most of the time ....no excuses.

Love this one Marjorie the glass bottle is so convincing ant the whole painting is very nicely done well done Marjorie

Well thank you all - I just about had enough room left to paint on!

Superb Marjorie inspired work

It's too tidy for my table Marjorie!Lol. Brilliant bottle and I love the squashed paint tubes.

I won't post my table ... lovely painting which is well put together.

This is superb work, Marjorie. You certainly made a very mundane subject look spectacular! Beautiful composition, lovely use of shapes and textures. A painting with great depth.

Very nice composition and beautiful colours!

Oil over an acrylic base. Thick dark background to cover board, palette knife then scraped outlines while paint still soft. Then, palette knife only with thick acrylic to aim for a "chunky" surface. Finally, tidied up with oil and brush - it's not a pretty subject but it's what the edge of my painting table looks like.
