The olive pot

Comments

Very brave using that very colourful and patterned cloth Marjorie but it works so well and the glaze/shine on those front dishes is spot on.

Beautiful painting, Marjorie - it looks finished to me! I love the bowls in particular...

Thanks Helen, and Val -I just wanted to paint something colourful. Thanks Val-Irene, and Brian - just a bit more on the cloth, maybe on the pot, a little. Jan, I don't want to overdo it ( my habit, usually) but the top right needs tidying a bit.

Looks great and cannot see where you can go, but look forward to the finished picture - love the sturdy pot and the dishes and everything else.

It looks absolutely grand to me Marjorie, you set up some wonderful still life compositions.

I think it's a great piece, I particularly love the two bowls in the forefront. I think we all experience this gamut of emotions every time we paint Marjorie, makes you question why on earth we do it?!

Oil on canvas, 40cmx50cm. Set this up to paint on Monday. Today I went through a range of emotions - enjoyment, frustration, disappointment, headache, then while clearing away used my fingers to paint. Not all finished yet, all but, but am much happier, though exhausted!
