In the light

Particularly like the painting of the bowl.

It's SO good Marjorie that bowl is wonderful and the lacy tablecloth is excellent too

Superb! Just love the lacey cloth!

This is excellent Marjorie the detailing on the lace cloth is beautifully done, the bowl is a painting on it own .

Everything done so well. An excellent painting.

A superb still life painting. Lovely reflections.

Beautiful pastel Marjorie.

Lovely pastel Marjorie.

Lovely Marjorie. The orange is very good and the lacey tablecloth.

Gorgeous pastel Marjorie, I particularly love the shadowed areas on the bowl and orange. I cropped that central area down to the shadows…..fabulous abstracted shapes. There is a brilliant exhibition on at Edinburghs National Marjorie, ‘A Taste for Impressionism’ it’s on until 6th November. Some super pastels of Degas.

It has worked really effectively, Marjorie. The textures on the salt glazed pot, the stippling on the pithy skin of the orange and the cotton fabric of the tablecloth are all skilfully rendered!

Thanks a lot everyone. Although I paint lots of different topics I think that Still Life is my favourite. Will try and go Fiona, thanks for the info.

I love the palette and the texture of the ceramic bowl is wonderful

Thanks Diana.

Forgot to say, bumped into Ewan McClure!

Oh my goodness😁 does he know you bought one?

You are skilful in all mediums, Marjorie!

You are very kind Cesare, thank you.

God no, I couldn’t say anything in case he said something dismissive about the one I bought! ☹️🫣 I would be so embarrassed.

Stunning Marjorie, the light, cloth, bowl, all superb.

What a lovely still life Marjorie. The bowl, orange and cloth are a delight, as are your shadows. You have a great skill of achieving beautifully subtle colours.

The subtle colours and textures are beautiful Marjorie. I love the blue!

Simply beautiful, love it

Val, Tessa and Janet, thanks for the lovely comments.

Valerie, we must have “ crossed comments” - thank you.

Had a couple of days off and just seen this. Lovely work Marjorie.

A lovely pastel still life,your work is very versatile Marjorie,

A lovely painting Marjorie, really good

Thank you very much Anne, Jim and Cheryl.

I did comment ages ago Marjorie but can’t see it here. Love the gentle light and the different textures of the bowl, orange and fabric. The beauty of still life is that we can choose objects we love to paint. I think that love transcends through this painting so well.

This is excellent. Wonderful subtle blends and colours.

Very effective, Marjorie, lovely light.
