Luscious ! Beautifully put together Marjorie!

Beautifully composed and painted Marjorie, the cut half looks so complicated but you've portrayed it brilliantly!

Thankyou Dennis and Fiona, Sarah, Christine and Dennis. I bought three pomegranates and I can't wait to paint them again! Got to get them out of my system.

A lovely mellow look to this, and definately ready to eat! Beautifully done, Marjorie.

Great form and contrast

Even more delicious than the last pommi painting. Lovely textures.

Something of this reminds me of Chardin's work, Marjorie. It's beautifully done. I love the low light and the subtle shifts of tones and shades.

A great arrangement ,beautifully painted. Again soft and mellow feel to this, with the pomegranates looking very convincing, really nice.

Just caught this one, Marjorie! I love it! Great fruit - especially the half waiting for me to eat . Yummy!!

Thankyou again everyone - no I haven't eaten it yet, must get my pin out. Did anyone else eat them with a pin when they were little? Health and safety eh?

Super still life Marjorie, do you keep them hidden in the box?

Beautifully soft and subtle.

Thankyou Gudrun. Stephen - you've done it now! Watch this space!

There go the textures again Marjorie. I can almost taste the fruit. The variety of the painting of the edges of the different objects is very appealing.

Light went, some adjustments tomorrow. Small oil on MDF, paint was absorbed more than first study, primed not with gesso but with oil and medium.
