Dahlia with Bees

From the latest firing -- here's the plate before and after. The diameter is a little over 9 inches. I'm using Amaco Velvet Series underglazes on Miller white stoneware. The glaze is Laguna Clear Bright, and the plate was fired to cone 6.

Warm Ups

Just a couple of watercolors as I get back into painting. I tried out some pearlescent watercolors, although they're difficult to see in the photos.

"Goldie"

"Poppa Fish" - I've read that with pumpkinseeds (an Ohio sunfish), the male guards the eggs and fry.
