I always try to find a blue pitcher whenever I travel. Why blue? Not sure and over the years, I have loosened the requirements so that the pitcher needs only a touch of blue to qualify. My newest pitcher - the one at the back - came from a tiny hole-in-the-wall antique store in the medieval center of the town of Thouars in western France and is interesting because the handle is on the side, close to the spout. The pitcher on the left is made of ironstone. I found it in a big junk store near Cooperstown, NY. And the pitcher on the right at the front is from a favorite little shop on the Rue Jacob in Paris that sells ceramics and linens from Provence. The painting of these three pitchers is oil on stretched linen, 10" x 12". If you are interested in purchasing it, click here.

County Clare, Ireland
December's Virtual Paintout site was County Clare,
Ireland. Here are two paintings I made from
Google views - the landscapes look very very green, I know,
but if the photos are telling the truth, Ireland is indeed
emerald! Quite beautiful and lots of fun to paint, even
from a photo.
