Freesia and Turquoise
Freesia and Turquoise
6x6in oil on canvas panel $100. SOLD
This beautiful little vase was handmade in Japan and I have painted it a lot.
The glaze turns from Turquoise into a deep cobalt which seems to float
on top of a rich brown glaze. There is no way I can capture it with paint.
It is fun trying though!
