Summer meadow near The Bathing House by Marjorie Firth

The Bathing House , the roof of which you can just see, is at Howick, on the way to Craster in Northumberland.

Lovely scene, Marjorie. Love the colours in the meadow in the foreground.

Nice one Marjorie. I particularly like the streaky cloud, so indicative of the Northern part of the UK. We don't see those down ere in Devon.

You've handled those grasses brilliantly Marjorie, most impressed. The judging will probably be taking place this week, good luck with that oil of yours.

Oh this looks so beautiful. Full of summer sun and wild flowers, Marjorie!

Like it, Marjorie

Wow, that's great Marjorie. The foreground grasses are just brilliant.

Lovely Marjorie.

Thanks everyone, it's a little " neater" thanI usually do - one in the bag for the club expo in August. Good luck to you too Alan - in both classes. I'll be at Patchings on the Friday so will look forward to seeing your work. Anything more than being chosen is a bonus.

Sunlight brilliantly captured Marjorie, superb painting

Peaceful scene.....

I can hear the bees buzzing and the deafening silence Marjorie.....beautifully portrayed.

You are so good with pastels Marjorie, this is super, I love the foreground.

A limited palette which works well Marjorie.

Lovely sense of a warm sunny day.

Thankyou very much Russell, we're having such beautiful weather at the moment. It was so peaceful Peter, a Monday morning with only the cows around...Fiona, our art club is just down the road, at the moment it's idyllic with the weather....now winter can be a different matter. Margaret, I've " rediscovered "my pastels . And thankyou John and Sandra.

You're a dab hand with the pastels, Marjorie. This is top drawer, and so peaceful. Great pastel painting! Brian

Thanks Brian😊

You’ve caught the mood perfectly, lovely work

Oh Wow! This picture hits me between the eyes; in a nice way of course. It's just full of atmosphere and your application of the pastel is so impressionistic. Well of course this is impressionism undiluted for me. Marjorie, I love it! John

Thankyou very much John - this was last year, can't go at the moment.
