In reply to Judy Turner. I remember a long time ago, when I wasn't interested in doing still life, an art professor saying that working with still life is an excellent way of learning about painting. So yes, definitely not to be dismissed! And there's so much that can be said in a still life painting as is apparent in Marie's work! Thanks Judy for sharing your thoughts!!

This is an interesting blog covering a genre which is often dismissed as old fashioned. After landscape I do like to paint fruit and particularly vegetables. And cloth. One of my own favourite paintings is a red cabbage, another is a pumpkin. Marie’s work is breathtaking and her painstaking process should dismiss any naysayers who decry working from photographs!

I’ve seen Mary’s work posted on social media, and I am always struck by her amazing realism. What a fabulous pastel artist!!
