I used to love painting lace Sylvia. I might try it again but I think the result would be different.

Love this Marjorie, both for the painting and especially the stories behind the items. What is pokerwork? I've never heard of it before. It is a very pretty bowl.

This is lovely, treasured possessions which mean a lot. Love the way you’ve painted the cut out work on the tablecloth.

Sandra, pokerwork is pyrography - designs burned into wood. Tomorrow I’ll post a photo of the bowl beside the painting, the light isn’t good enough at the moment.

Delightful painting Marjorie!

A beautiful painting Marjorie, the lacework is amazing. Nice to hear old works like pokerwork , now everything seems to be and ology or ography .

No wonder you create lovely work, Marjorie, you live within a creative family. A delightful collection of memories you have painted.

Nostalgic memories superbly captured in watercolour! That lace is incredible…

What a delight and full of so many memories - that tablecloth is a tour de force!

Beautifully painted Marjorie. I like how the lacework leads the eye into the painting.

Oh wow that lacy cloth Marjorie, fantastic.

Such a delicate watercolour, Marjorie so skillfully done.

Love this, it has a lovely feel about it !

A charming, nostalgic, collection of objects Marjorie and I so admire the dominant sepia colour. The lace tablecloth must have been a great challenge but the result is so lovely.

Posted by Carole Kelly on Wed 23 Oct 14:41:15

Lovely collection Marjorie, it has a mellow look….great cloth.

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Wed 23 Oct 15:21:35

It’s lovely, Marjorie and love the lace, so difficult to paint.

Posted by Maureen Sherman on Wed 23 Oct 15:48:31

It has quite a feeling to this piece Marjorie. Something more than if it was a work. If you see what I am driving at.

Posted by John Graham Inkson on Wed 23 Oct 16:21:35

A charming and delicate collection - beautiful lace!

A few old things I would never part with - my mother’s pokerwork bowl, a photo of my grandma ( whom I never met), a photo of me in a rather nice frame and a little wooden bowl made by my husband in woodwork class ( he failed his GCE in woodwork but is very proud of this ). Watercolour, not recent.
