What can...Dear Mark, Your observation is right on. What can appear to be a difficult design can be broken down into sections. Adding to and embellishing the basic design only takes a little extra time. <br />The one thing you can't do is to inadvertently drop a spot of pigment onto raw clay. That is why you see little painted bugs on some painted porcelain plates.

Our growing season is much too short and sometimes I wonder why we work so hard to see everything freeze in September. Snow and "frozen white" is beautiful but a bountiful garden is my idea of a perfect season.<br />I would love to see a picture of your Portuguese plates. Maybe you will feature them in one your posts. I would also like to know the history on how you acquired them. There must be a story attached to your plates. ox, Gina Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-42640438782276975742013-08-26T03:22:19.946-06:002013-08-26T03:22:19.946-06:00What an abundance your garden gives you in summer,...What an abundance your garden gives you in summer, Gina. It's always hard to believe, seeing these photos, that not long from now your landscape will be frozen white! I think I would really enjoy living with these very distinct seasons you have. Your plate is beautiful. I have a very treasured set of Portuguese plates in similar style, though they are much less finely painted than yours.<br />Good luck with all the painting ahead!Karen @ Pas Grand-Chosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14735158798201053231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-12654556898553467712013-08-25T07:32:00.792-06:002013-08-25T07:32:00.792-06:00Dear Frances, Policemans Helmet or Indian Balsam i...Dear Frances, Policemans Helmet or Indian Balsam is considered to be a noxious weed. It loves shady and wet areas and spreads easily. It can reach 10 feet. It is perfect for a difficult area where little else will grow. It is an annual. All you have to do is gather a few seeds and throw them to the wind. You will be awarded with plants where you least expect them. <br />I thought that my readers might like to see how a pattern is developed. It's a lot easier than you think. <br />Thank you for your very generous compliments. Have a great Sunday. xo, Gina <br /> Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-41568210394328421682013-08-25T06:55:10.609-06:002013-08-25T06:55:10.609-06:00Hello Gina, and many thanks for your visit and com...Hello Gina, and many thanks for your visit and comment over at my place. I love knowing the name of "my mystery flower" and how the plant's seeds get dispersed. I'll now have to take another walk over to the Shakespeare Garden to take a closer look that petite beauty.<br /><br />And on the topic of beauty...this post of yours has so many beautiful sights. I love the garden space competitors. Each is lovely in its own way. <br /><br />Seeing the close up pre-kiln view of your painted plate was so very interesting to me. The blue is exquisite! I liked seeing how you sort of make pencil notes and then let your deft handling of brush and paint flow. <br /><br />Best wishes on a huge success for this week's special event. xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-35474712622943782662013-08-25T05:58:24.112-06:002013-08-25T05:58:24.112-06:00Dear Tina, Thank you Tina for your lovely complime...Dear Tina, Thank you Tina for your lovely compliment.

And our local artists will open their studios. It is always a very eventful day and a lot of very good art will find new homes.
