A lovely painting Marjorie, and I love the little table, the dress material, folds extra is really good.

Stunning in every way Marjorie…..love the touches of turquoise.

There’s something about coming back to a painting after you’ve left it a while…you dare to continue…well it was that or my usual tack - paint over. Thanks for all the comments everyone😄. Fiona - oil paint is so gorgeous to use!

A really lovely painting Marjorie. This is a tough one by Sargent. You've done an amazing job. Love the background colors.👏👏👍

Thanks Romila and Harman. JSS is one of my favourite painters.

Love the folds in the dress Marjorie, the harmonious background colours and the way the left side of the table melts away so subtly.

A recognizable piece, yet it bears your signature style of excellence and skill. Really well executed, Marjorie!
