While shopping at my favorite art supply store, I found these small canvases. I wanted to try painting some "little gems" in a loose manner but with a fairly complex subject. I bought a 6 pack, so I'll be painting more small ones.

I'm back from keeping my sweet grandchildren...glad to be back in my own routine and in the studio. I had almost finished this painting when I noticed the chimney--I must have been concentrating on other parts of the house. This is another of those abandoned houses that I love so much, located in northeast Mississippi.

I shall be leaving tomorrow for 3 plus weeks, so posting will be somewhat spotty.

I am taking my paints with me, but I will be keeping the grandchildren, 6 and 4, and we all know these two do not always mix well! Please check back. I have several started that I know I'll finish and post. Thank you for visiting my painting blog.

Raku Pottery, Andy Smith, North Carolina

Today was a hectic day for me, and I did not finish my painting for the blog. So-0-0 I am taking you to the pottery exhibit I attended two Saturdays ago. The work is done by Andy Smith, nationally recognized potter, who lives in a rural area of Marshville, NC. I have a wonderful collection of his work and treasure each one.

Look carefully at this one in order to see the design. His surface design, it seems to me, reflect influences of Frank Lloyd Wright, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau.

His pot silhouettes are classic, beautiful shapes. You will notice a unifying black on each of them. This is the raku procedure in action. Pots are first bisque fired, then glazed, refired to a high temperature in about 45 minutes, removed red hot from the kiln with tongs, and plunged into a barrel of leaves, etc. Of course the leaves catch on fire and the smoke makes the black areas which are unglazed, and gets into the fine line crackle of the glazed portions. It is quite dramatic! The process originated in Japan, but American potters have modified the procedure somewhat.

Isn't that a gorgeous shape? If you look carefully, you can barely see the fine line crackle.

Have a great day tomorrow and check back for one of my paintings. My thanks to all of you.
