Christmas by Marjorie Firth

A superb portrait Marjorie I would love to be able to do portraits as good as this .

Really beautiful Marjorie

So beautiful!

Looking forward to the painting Marjorie but it works really well in charcoal too. The light is fabulous and I love those reflections on the wall.

Beautifully caught Marjorie. I just saw this on the forum. Excellent.

Delightful work.

The magic of Christmas is definitely shown here.

Beautiful drawing Marjorie.

A brilliant charcoal drawing Marjorie, can't wait for the painted version.

I know you've done this for a painting but this is rather fabulous in its own right. I love the mix of hard and soft marks you have used.

Lovely portrait and light. Waiting for the painting!

You have captured such a longing gaze in her expression Marjorie. There is something magical about the whole scene.

A super start.

Hmm… this is rather good, in fact very good Marjorie!

Thank you very much everyone! Alan, you make me smile when you start off with Hmm….

Lovely, Marjorie, love the lighting.

A little late getting here, but lovely work Marjorie. I don't feel a need to say more.

That background, the sparkles of light make the composition work very well Marjorie.

Wow, superb portrait

Absolutely exquisite Marjorie.

Stunning Marjorie! Beautiful light, wonderful reflections.

It's lovely and stands alone as a good portrait.

Thank you all very much for those comments.

Gorgeous light and shade Marjorie

This has lovely light and atmosphere, and conveys a quiet and contemplative scene that is so apt for Christmas.
