I paint
More specifically, I hand paint ceramics.
The kind of ceramics which have been painted in Europe for more than 600 years.
I paint because I have always admired Italian ceramics.
I paint whatever makes me happy.
Lots of tiles for kitchens and fireplaces.
Tiles I will never see again.
Tiles I will never see again.
I get to keep the rejects.
They are valuable, but only to me.
I can learn from them.
They are valuable, but only to me.
I can learn from them.
These little jewels I paint just for myself.
I paint a lot of practical ceramics just as long as they are also pretty.
Some large murals take many weeks to finish.
Flowers and hand painted ceramics are a natural pairing.
An urn elevates and makes everything special.
New but painted to look old.
A little gold makes it extra special.
A "Tondino" is a very practical and large dish.
Bowls are always the first to go.
So why don't I paint more of them?
You will see this happy bird all over Italy.
So many tiles I have stopped counting.
Still a favorite.
So why don't I paint more of them?
Frost has come, more time to paint.
