In the sun by Marjorie Firth

Loveley painting Marjorie

A lovely portrait Marjorie, is it a selfie.?

Thanks David. Are you joking Paul? It’s my daughter.

Thanks for the comment and the thought though Paul.

It’s so well done. The back lighting is terrific.

Beautiful portrait Marjorie.

Good portrait Marjorie

Thanks Lewis, the light that day was wonderful.

And thank you Stephen and Heather.

Great work Marjorie.

Fabulous Marjorie

Masterful....I'm amazed it's such a small canvas.

Lovely! I like the play of llight,

I've seen this before haven't I Marjorie? I recall commenting on the lovely backlighting. It's a lovely piece.

Drat, another senior moment!! Ive just looked through your 'portrait gallery' and it's not there! Ah well, I love the backlighting!

Thank you all for the lovely comments! Russell, you aren’t wrong, I took it off because I wasn’t happy with it, just gone back and worked on it again. So no senior moment!

I really like the square format and the fact that you have painted the portrait on such a small area so effectively Marjorie. She has such a wistful expression.

This is fantastic, Marjorie. The portrait, the palm, and those lights in the window, super!

A superb, thoughtful and gentle portrait Marjorie, painted with love.

Good work Marjorie.

Wonderful portrait Marjorie.

Thanks, as always, for looking and commenting - Carole, Federico, Tessa, Denise and Sandra.

Some great touches of light in this Marjorie

Wow, that wistful look, brilliantly caught, and the back lighting is splendid.

How beautiful !!

Beautiful portrait Marjorie.

Really good, Marjorie

Super light and painterly feel Marjorie.

Thank you all very much!

Marjorie it might be your daughter but I do see you in there from your occasional selfie . Thought it was a younger selfie , it’s a great portrait.

Its a great portrait - and so difficult to paint contra jour / against the light.

Beautiful portrait.

Lovely!

A memorable striking portrait with the beautifully painted plant hitting the light. A wonderful addition to a portrait. Brings the person into the present.
