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.

Posted by Claire Williams on Sat 08 Nov 13:28:10

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.

Posted by Marjorie Firth on Sat 08 Nov 16:16:32

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

….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.
