I always loved Russian porcelain, especially how it’s decorated with red, gold and blue. The stylized, decorative elements are particularly wonderful. I have a series on the teapots and teacups in our home. I love their form, color and textures.
Oil on Linen / 16 x 20 inches / Collection of the Artist’s Sister
My wife’s teapot perched atop a textile we bought from Oaxaca, Mexico, but painted using the backside of the fabric. The combinations of textures seemed especially regal.

My wife and I collect Imperial Porcelain cups and teapots because of their exuberant ornamentation. Combined with a salt seller from Morocco, and copper-glazed tiles from Spain, it made for quite a tea party.

This composition was enjoyable to play with because the subjects were all so reflective. I used old tiles which are coppery as a base, and in teh background an 11thC tile I bought in Toscana. All beloved objects.
Pastel / 20 x 33 in /
The objects lie on a rug from my wife’s grandmother. I composed around the muted colors of the rug and the tiles. For zings of color, I used the fruit and the Russian porcelain scattered randomly in the center.
