Twelve Pitchers (detail)


I'm noticing that each pitcher (this is the fifth) has a personality of it's own--and this one is decidedly feminine.

What a lovely painting! I love the color patterns of the cloth & the reflections off it on the vase! Nice job!

Thank you for your comments! I was just thinking about how all my years of working in watercolor has changed how I use color in oils. With watercolor I was always using wet-in-wet pure color changes to turn a form--and same thing here in the pitcher. I have to say that I find color transitions in watercolor, though more unpredictable, easier to control than I do with oils. Maybe another ten years with oil paint, and I won't feel that way.
