The not so Grand Master by Marjorie Firth

He's just looked over my shoulder, seen the title and thinks I'm very unkind.

Ooppps, that's going to take some making up Marjorie! You could let him win the next game of chess you have!!lol Great tonal work by the way.

I hate chess Fiona, the only times in the past when he gave me a game my main aim was to cheat. He'd go out of the room and I'd take a piece off the board - but he always knew!

Lovely work Marjorie.

I don't like it either Marjorie, my husband plays.....I can't sit still in one place for that long....it's far too slow and besides you have to think! I never thought about cheating....that could make it more interesting, if that's possible!lol

This is a typical Marjorie.....brill

Brilliant Marjorie! Has a very nostalgic feel

That's confidence for you. It's good Marjorie. Although composition wise the flower pot needed another position.

Lovely figure, Marjorie.

Excellent tonal work Marjorie, hope he forgives you :)

Great painting.

Thankyou everyone, very much. Yes John, that plant is almost growing out of his head! Hope I've cottoned on to that since then.
