Ceramic Showase this weekend in Portland

Guess what we are getting ready for? Here's what the Might Quince looks like as a canvas giclee print on a clay "frame".
This is the way I get to continue participating in the ceramic shows that Dennis and I have done together for years: I show my paintings on CLAY! This was truly one of those "necessity is the Mother of Invention"developments that has been quite successful over the past few years since I stopped being a ceramic artist.

The Mighty Quince

The Mighty Quince 24" x 30" oil on canvas panel $1200

(Well, this certainly qualifies as "after Christmas"!)
This painting was part of the exercise of choosing a painter to emulate that I mentioned in my last post. A friend picked this wonderfully provocative quince off her tree to show me and immediately I asked if I could have it to paint ala Georgia O'Keefe. I didn't intend to get too serious about it but as I worked on it the more I liked it, so I let go of Georgia and finished it up ala Leslie. The size is what makes it powerful so the web is not it's best view.
More paintings from the February show coming...
