pottery

As I am slowly making progress in the pottery studio ( with lots of mistakes and tired arms) I am not surprised that I felt a need to paint pots. This new painting titled 'Fire" is going to be in my show at SLETE /Obsolete in May in Santa Monica, CA. I've got more pottery in me, painted and three dimensional. Stay tuned.

Cover for Penguin Books

 

It's been hard to do a follow up blog after the "Je suis Charlie" entry. So just a quick note on a cover commission I am doing for Penguin Books for a series on Monarchs. This is depicting Charles II.

I am learning to make pots!

It all started with a beautiful plate that I bought from Faye Baker of Fayezart at her annual Holiday Sale two years ago. I fell in love with handmade pottery after that, had Faye make us a whole set of dinner ware and collected pieces mostly at Thrift stores  and flea markets. Now I have finally decided I need to make time to learn myself how to throw a pot! Got my first two bowls done today with Faye's help. Check out her website at Fayezart.com.

A New Year!

Spent the last days of 2014 in nature, hiking, basking in the winter sun and poking through ferny forest with our dogs. I wish for more of that in 2015 -the ever -healing beauty of the land !
A happy New Year to you !
