Every time we eat in the dining-room, I admire the pewter vases that my mum collected ( we used to have a vast ugly pewter tea urn but that was sold) . I've been thinking of sketching them for the 'Grey side of life' theme of Sketchbook Project 2012. I love the subtlety of form and light and shadow so it fit well with this challenge too. I've already used them in 'Lunaria' quilt ( see below before the honesty seed cases smothered it! ) but they deserve to star in their own piece!
Then there's the Taplow Vase for 'Whatever Floats Your Boat' at Slough Museum
I don't know quite how I ended up with this when something on the lines of this Picasso painting was what I had in mind. Time to revisit it I think.

Mags, I was reminded of this post the other day, sitting in my friend's kitchen, looking out on her garden. She has three interesting pots on a shelf out there; I keep promising myself to photograph them, with the thought of painting them.
