Wonderful painting, Petra. Beautiful reflections and lovely bright colours. I love it!

This is an interesting one as, with the lack of strong reflections under the marbles, you concentrate more on the marbles themselves. How you get those marbles to look like glass is beyond me - either black magic or superb skill. I suspect the latter! Really lovely work, Petra.

Whatever media you use Petra, your paintings are always brilliant!

Excellent Petra and isn't it interesting that objects arranged like these marbles always look better in threes? Two or four marbles wouldn't work. Ok, you could paint a pile of them, but three is good..LOL

WOW!! This is excellent Petra and all the more impressive as it.'s in watercolour!

Beautiful work and in watercolour too

Many thanks Mia, Thea, Satu, Louise, Christine and Glennis, I really appreciate your very kind comments :)

I'd go for a pile!! Pyramidal... super glued together! Great clarity, precision and placed just right within the rectangle.

Thank you very much Roger :)

Fabulous. I like marbles and they are on my to do list (then again so are a lot of other things). Great painting

The simplest of compositions and so very effective.

Very attracrive too Petra, love the watercolour, great sparkle and I like the reflections with a bit of dry-brush at bottom.

Superb work, Petra! Gorgeous palette and lovely translucent washes.

You are so so good with these simple still life,Petra - understated with brilliant highlights

excellent work on these 3 marbles Petra

Thank you very much Michelle, Dawn, Michael, Carol, Seok, Pat and Ros for your lovely comments and support :)

I have to agree with every one else, another good one and great reflections. I lost my marbles years ago.
