The Bog Garden, Howick, Northumberland by Marjorie Firth

I can’t paint small, but this really is excellent Marjorie. Impressive indeed!

Thank you Alan, I’ve been taking a short break from posting but I’m now painting again and enjoying it.

A little beauty Marjorie with glorious reflections

Super painting Marjorie. Good colour and reflections!

very nice painting

It’s stunning Marjorie, the water and reflections are particularly good it’s small but has a big impact.

Wonderful mark making, love this

Beautiful painting 🖼 😍

A super painting, Marjorie.

The bright leaves and the reflected sky really bring this to life.

I was thinking you had gone off grid, this is wonderful Marjorie, so much depth and the foliage just sparkles. Beautifully painted.

So naturally fluid Marjorie with lovely reflections.

Love the lime green foliage and reflections in the water.

So many people to thank for commenting - thank you so much everyone for taking the time, I do appreciate it.

Beautiful subject and painting.

There is a lot in this for a small painting Marjorie. Really lovely!

Lovely painting!

This is Excellent. Lots of beautiful work.

This is a beauty Marjorie, so many areas of interest…..lush.

Lovely

Wow! Really exceptional, Marjorie. Perfectly still water, dramatic light and great depth. I'd like this on my wall.

That is an excellent painting Marjorie - love it

First class work, Marjorie. This is beautifully painted, all the more so for it's small size. (I used to enjoy making postcard size pictures, but struggle with it these days.)

Beautifully painted.

This is a lovely quiet corner where you could just sit and take it all in, beautiful reflections Marjorie.

Beautiful, Marjorie, lovely range of greens and super reflections.

I’ve never painted such a large scene in so small a format before. I would say it required a bit more thought but it was so enjoyable - I happened to have a small canvas panel, can’t remember where it even came from! I think inspiration came from all the beautiful autumn colours around at the moment but this week may be the last, wind and rain are changing things. Once again, many thanks everyone for spurring me on!

Beautiful work Marjorie.

I love this, Marjorie - great markings and colour.

Thank you, Maureen and Caroline.

Good to try something different size wise Marjorie and you’ve certainly packed in the detail. Looks a great spot and your reflections work very well.

Tessa, it's connected to those daily paintings I mentioned.

An excellent piece, with superb brushwork and great atmosphere, Marjorie.

What a beauty Marjorie

Super detail in such a small work.
