My Favorite Bowls

"My Favorite Bowls," 20" x 32", Oil on Canvas.

I have an affinity for bright, crockery bowls, either old or new. I love interesting designs and shapes, and I love the weight of them. I also love the bright and subtle colors. I have a number of them now, and decided that a nice still life of bowls would be fun to do.I pulled out this table cloth, an old-fashioned floral design that was bright and cheery and incorporated some of the colors of the bowls.
I chose a large canvas for this one because I wanted the bowls to really stand out and show off their beauty.
