Orange Pear and Celadon Bowl

“Orange Pear and Celadon Bowl”

Oil on Canvas, 6” x 4”

I keep saying I need to paint larger, but here I am at 6x4 inches - oh well, I really like a 

small painting!!

This reminds me of the German Expressionists. I used to think I would 

paint like them especially having studied German, but I ended up being more realistic. 

Well, maybe this is a new beginning.

 

Four Pears in a Handmade Bowl

If you want a bowl like this, you have to drive a Jeep high into the mountains above Todos Santos, Mexico and visit La Candelaria. Lorena, who is originally from Oregon, will give you a tour of her home and work area, and describe the self-glazing technique of previous generations that she learned from elderly artisans. She fires her work in a pit filled with a favorite local fuel, which is produced by the roaming cows. We love this bowl and I can’t believe it is the first time I’ve painted it.

Oh still life, I have missed thee! I've really been focusing on landscape to increase my painting comfort level, which I have! Way back my one true painting love, landscape, was eclipsed by still life when I had small kids and I couldn't leave the house. Well, the kids are grown.

My oldest says still life is 'still boring,' but I still love it!
