In May, June and July, I spent most of my (free) time decorating plates and bowls. I finally got the results I was looking for these past years and felt so happy that I gathered what was left of my bisque pieces and used them as canvases.

I found out that in some pieces, the tiny scratches and maker’s marks catch on the paint, give depth and render a really nice texture.

I’m quite fond of the white rabbit on this gritty red clay; soft and warm.

And an unusual addition in this painting: cacti!
