"The Good Feelings of Pottery"   Oil    12x16

Sold

 

Greetings from my Studio.

 

This was my first attempt at painting a black Indian pot and I cheated a little bit.

 I chose to paint the carved design only on the upper section of the pot.  This allowed me to have a nice black shiny surface on which to put my reflected lights and highlights.  Keeping the pot less busy seemed like a good idea and I believe it worked.  I used the same blue green in the blanket and the color of the garlic for the highlights and reflected lights on the pot.
