Fine work Marjorie with such lifelike cherries.

In its unpretentiousness this is a little masterpiece and I'm a little bit in awe of you.

A great painting Marjorie. You must have had a lot of self control.

Like your energetic brush strokes and those lovely cherries are making me feel hungry!

Thanks for all the nice comments folks - I’ll have to have a little more willpower because I want to include them in a painting tomorrow.

Those cherries are literally making my mouth water, they are so lifelike! Love seeing how you are painting the cloth beneath.

Such lovely deep red shiny cherries against the blue cup Marjorie.

Lovely gloss look to them Marjorie… another super still life, kept to a minimum which has worked!

Beautiful cherries Marjorie and great light on the white cloth.

Beautifully done Marjorie, cherries my favourite.

I like your use of light and textures here Marjorie.

Posted by Carole Kelly on Tue 18 Jul 12:10:28

Absolutely lush darling! Are you loosening up a tad….love the cup and cloth, lots of lovely brush marks.

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Tue 18 Jul 18:06:22

Thanks once again everyone, lovely generous comments. Loosening up…I did paint it quickly and mixed all my colours before I started. Enjoyed that way of working.

Posted by Marjorie Firth on Tue 18 Jul 19:52:16

This captures mood and light beautifully, Marjorie. Excellent work!

That's a cracker Marjorie, I could just pick up one of those cherries and eat it.

Posted by Val Kenyon on Wed 19 Jul 16:38:21

Well they’re still around Val - tonight’s the night, paint and eat or eat and not paint…..
