A wonderful portrait Marjorie. Lovely soft palette.

Lovely portrait, Marjorie.

Very impressive Marjorie.

Marjorie, there is always more than paint in your portraits. There is a spark and essence, that you also capture. Cracking!! Did you get get the Scottish Gallery newsletter…..they have a large Lachlan Goudie exhibition at the moment.

So lovely, I aspire to portraits. I've got a book called you will be able to draw faces by the end of this book which i am working through.

Thanks for all the lovely comments! Claire, good luck with the book and post some of your work! Fiona, not sure if I’ve read the Scottish Gallery news on L.G. Will check.

Yes Fiona, got it! So much has been going on.

Delightfully soft portrait!

A great portrait Marjorie, love how you captured shine on your hair.

Beautifully painted portrait!

A beautifully painted portrait capturing your spirit and naturalness.

Very good self-portrait, Marjorie! I like the softness.

….but I got side- tracked. Warts and all ( well, no warts but honest ). I meant to “ warm up” before painting “ autumn” but got carried away. Through the mirror.
