Ginger Jar

This delightful 6' Ginger Jar is painted in metallics, china paints and gold work.   The cream metallic was ground laid. There are scattered "base for gold" raised dots on it,  and if you look carefully at the picture you can see some of them standing out proud from the sides of the jar. I used the same white paste to embellish the coloured flowers.

Hollyhocks

This is the Hollyhock plate I painted in class with Andrew Orr in Blenheim, South Island, New Zealand.

Once again Andrew proved to be an interesting, creative and inspiring teacher and all those who attended the class went away with some good practical knowledge that can be applied to our painting in the future.

The exhibition was wonderful (of course!) and two of our club girls won merit awards for their work which was exhibited in special sections.

One of these was Ming Lien - who was one of my students many years ago and now teaches porcelain art in Taiwan.
