Very well painted objects, Marjorie. Very limited colour palette: beautiful!

Thanks, Mia. It's a way of getting back into the painting habit again.

What a lot from such a limited palette, super work Marjorie

Posted by Willie Drea on Sat 07 Nov 12:24:58

It excellent Marjorie, and with limited colours, looks like there is more in there due to your mix etc.

Great use of colour. Is that all your paintings in the background?

So soft, beautiful work

Posted by Alicia Tolhurst-Brown on Sat 07 Nov 13:48:26

A superb combination of colours.

Whenever I remember to limit the range of colours and just mix ( the Zorn palette is a good one too), I'm always surprised too . Thanks for the comments Everyone. Lewis, yes, boards and canvases ( clutter) and one of the cupboards I shove them in when I clear the space to reach.

Ooooo.....look at that cloth! I love the shadows and highlights that the folds and creases have created, it’s like a landscape by itself Marjorie! The Indian red under painting has given it a gorgeous glow.

Love the colours, reflections and the gorgeous folds in the cloth Marjorie.

Fabulous painting Marjorie, I love that reflected blue in the jug.

Thank you very much Russell. Are you still doing landscapes?

I love this painting.

Beautiful painting. Great colours.

Posted by Gudrun Ståhl Sharpley on Sun 08 Nov 16:24:50

Thank you Val-Irene and Gudrun. I did this to try and relax from a larger one, a commission, which I'm not finding easy

Very good still life, Marjorie.

Grazie Cesare. Stamattino c'è il discorso italiano, via Google. Un giorno, torniamo in Italia, spero!

Super reflections. Nice juicy colour. Wish I could paint still life! Oh I don't know though. Isn't that what a frozen lake would be? Must wait for the cold weather. I digress. A lovely painting Marjorie. Regards John

Awesome painting

Posted by Romila Datta on Mon 09 Nov 21:15:17

Thanks John, I like your idea of a Still Life. And thanks, too, Romila.

Brilliant

Posted by Dennis Rounding on Wed 11 Nov 10:51:39

Nearly missed this one and I'm glad I didn't. Nice one Marjorie especially with limited palette. In fact I only ever use 3 colours and white and it's amazing how many other colours can be made. Well done

Posted by xxStuart xxFairlamb on Fri 27 Nov 08:33:55

Belated thanks, Dennis and thank you Stuart! Think I'll try a totally different limited palette.
