A royal painting then. Lovely.

Superbly lustrous.

Nearly crown jewels. Great sheen on the pearls.

Super painting Marjorie.

You have captured the texture and pearlessence, perfectly here Marjorie. A lovely composition.

4"x4" is like painting with tweezers! Have you considered using ACM rather than MDF? It has the same flat surface but is more resistant to humidity.

Beautiful little set of pearl jewelry. All the best with the auction.

I admire your patience painting all those pearls Marjorie!

These are beautifully painted Marjorie, so effective against the dark background
