As long as I can remember, I have been uncomfortable with my drawings, even as a kid. The drawing just never felt right. Probably why I became a potter.
I know, I know, I have said it so many times now- Painting pottery is a blast. This is not just a marketing ploy, I am constantly thinking of different things to paint, searching the web for new techniques and painting at least one piece each day I am at the studio.
Unloaded a kiln today below are some of the pieces which came out.
Flower Plate
Dragon Fly Dish- I tried to blend the leaf colors by dipping the brush in two different colors then twirling the brush while I stroked. Kinda like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time- very difficult.
Tree Sponge Plate- Ok, yeah it was the neighborhood 5 year old who taught me how to paint with a sponge. I even mastered two different colors! The tree was fun, maybe a little less coffee before using the fun writer pen.
Off to use the other side of my brain in the Emergency Room. Easter weekend and a snow storm, how did I get so lucky?
Happy Easter!
