Carved Cups

Trumpet Vine Bowl

Magnolia 3

This is the last of this series of magnolia blossoms I saw in Florida this spring.  My favorite part of this painting is the light violet grey in the shadow of the blooms.  I love that color with the intense other colors.  It tied the two blossoms together too.
I may go in and work on the long green leaves in the forefront, but I am about done with this.

Magnolia II

Well, I am finally painting again.  I like this one.  I didn't use any white for the blossom and enjoyed the intense colors and shadows.

This came out of the kiln today.  Cobalt blue slip over white and iron slip, clear glaze. ^10

Spodumene glazed casserole

I threw several casseroles this summer and this is the best so far.  The lid fits well and I  like the red iron oxide wash under the spodumene glaze that shows off the carved textures.  Now I need to cook something to put in it!

This is a carved black Mason stain slip I have been working on. The glaze is a clear ^10.  I like the dark black for maximum contrast with the white clay body.  I am working on some colored slips, but it will be weeks before they get thru the process.
