Most of my pots are hand-thrown on a wheel using stoneware clay, but I also enjoy making small decorative ceramics like buttons and pendants. Some of my pieces are made using a traditional Japanese firing technique called raku which creates a beautiful crackle glaze. ‘Cornflower with Berries’ is an original acrylic painting depicting a stylised interior with a display of flowers in a white vase. This painting has a simple, calm atmosphere and is painted with fresh colours and shades. For this painting I’ve used acrylics on a small ‘deep edge’ canvas. The canvas measures 10 inches by 10 inches (about 25cm by 25cm) and is about one and a half inches deep (about 4cm). The painting is unframed and the edge is painted using a very light grey so it can be hung on a wall without a frame for a contemporary look. This painting is an original artwork and is signed by me (Jude Allman) in the bottom left hand corner. (Please note that Jude Allman retains the copyright of the image of this painting even after purchase. Any questions please ask. Thank you!) judeallman Fri, 02 Dec 2011 14:33:06 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2686494 http://folksy.com/items/2686494 Cornflower with Berries - Original Acrylic Painting Looking for something a bit different to say Happy Birthday?
