Lovely painting, looks like the Lewis men chess set ? Such beautiful pieces .

Posted by Paul (Dixie) Dean on Mon 06 Feb 16:14:47

This has a very ghostly feel to it Marjorie and the pieces are eerily animated. Great stuff.

Very dramatic lighting. The black pieces look suitably menacing. Love it.

That looks quite spectacular, Marjorie!!

Good Painting Marjorie. Very interesting pieces, look quite sinister in a way !!

Posted by George Cutter on Mon 06 Feb 17:04:13

The pieces look almost as menacing as my chess set! Very clever indeed!

They’re just a group of hooligans!

Yes the Lewis chessmen...super. May the best man win.

They are quite sinister pieces, the Isle of Lewis set - I keep meaning to buy a replica set, but lacking anyone at the moment to play against it would be a bit pointless. Reminds me, this, of the Rosemary Sutcliffe novel, Knight's Fee - the first serious novel I ever read.

Very effective, Marjorie, and has been said, quite ghostly and menacing.

Posted by Jenny Harris on Mon 06 Feb 21:31:50

Really love this clever idea!

Posted by Thalia Stones on Tue 07 Feb 06:05:41

Eye catching and though it’s a still life there is a menacing movement in the painting. Brilliant

Nice technique Marjorie I don't mind a game of Chess.

Love he light too, Marjorie. Well done.

Posted by Coral Pastor Caparrós on Wed 08 Feb 07:53:01

I love this - it’s so dramatic and full of light! They have character.

Posted by Janet Moloney on Wed 08 Feb 08:21:32

Oil on board, 7”x9”. The board wasn’t set up but I loved the light streaming between the pieces.
