Really beautiful painting Marjorie

Love this Marjorie, beautiful and loosely painted. Like you, I can't resist trying to keep the old ones going!

Lovely, Marjorie. They do tend to "die off", then spring to life again. I like the roughness of the pot and geranium stems

Lovely work!

You have definitely coaxed this back to life Marjorie in more ways than one!

Lovely painting - the terracotta pot has super warmth and the bright red geranium flower looks super against the bright green of the leaves.

Nice oil work Marjorie with some lovely textures.

Stunning Marjorie, the red of that geranium just glows. I have one that I keep pruning but haven't re potted and it keeps rewarding me with lovely flowers.

It's been said already. Lovely textures and colours.

Thanks for the comments everyone - I couldn't wait to use that red paint!

This afternoon's effort, oil on small muslin covered board. An old geranium( can't bear to throw them away) which I "pruned" and re- potted.
