Pottery w/Orange

This is a small piece of pottery I picked up at an auction.  I really liked the speckled finish and the shape of it.  I staged it the same time I did the Turquoise Fiesta piece with the orange except this time I dangled it off the edge of the slab...  I used a low light setting with the light set up just above the piece and to the left of center (to create the shadows).  The low light helped to create a bit more of a dramatic effect.

Cracked

I have painted several enamelware  objects recently and love the way the enamel plays on steel - especially when there are use marks that add character.  In this case, I wanted to paint the cup with another light object and the mornings egg shells just seemed appropriate..  :)

Braeburn Apple

Here's a Braeburn Apple.  I painted this one whole and will paint it with a slice removed...  before I devour it!  :)   I love that we have so many different types of apples and each one has it's own taste and color characteristics...   You'll probably see more as my daily subjects because I tend to keep them around (a favorite fruit...)

Fiesta w/Orange

Hello Friends!  I love Fiesta (as if you haven't figured it out!)  The vibrant colors make me smile.  We use it for everyday but I also  have a collection of vintage (still growing),  and enjoy using pieces in my still life compostions.  This one is a turquoise egg cup.  I'm not sure why they call these pieces egg cups because they are too large for one egg and it would take too many to fill it up..  :)
