POTTERY WITH SALT AND PEPPER, 6X8, OIL



This was the best of times and the worse of times..............struggle, struggle, STRUGGLE!  Not unlike giving birth, when I finally put down my knife and brush, the pain was forgotten and I felt validated.



Everyone has room for a  "little" art in their life!

Tomorrow, the war continues!

You made an extremely beautiful painting out of something so ordinary as salt. pepper and a jar. Wonderful colors and light.

Nice piece Carol. I particularly the rendering of the pitcher - the light and colour and sensitively handled.
