This is a piece of my daughter’s pottery and one of my favourites. I love the shape and glaze on this one and, of course, I’m so proud of her and that her teacher has told her she’s advancing surprisingly quickly. I’m not surprised. :-D

This is so beautiful and artistic, Holly. Your daughters work is very nicely highlighted by your photograph. You are so good at still life photography.
Holly Cawfield replied

Dave Moilanen

Beautiful composition Holly! And a Woo Hoo for your daughter too!! :-)
Holly Cawfield replied

Thanks Dave! I will pass along that ‘woo hoo’ to my daughter! :-D
eyestrange

your the only person I know who can turn a bunch of veg into an ART form – the colours are to die for – the comp and light are brilliant and the work is worthy of an Art gallery – STUNNING
Holly Cawfield replied

Oh my….thank you so much Pat! This little pot has been through so many set ups trying to get the right match….I’m glad you think this works! :-)
Sandy Stewart

Lovely use of lighting to display this lovely composition! Your still life never ceases to amaze me! The background so nicely compliments your daughter’s pottery! beautiful work Holly! : )
Holly Cawfield replied

Thank you so much Sandy…what a lovely comment!! I have the very good fortune to have a sunroom that gets wonderful light all day…it really helps when working on a still life. And so much less expensive than buying a set of studio lights! :-D
bill oneil

Your still lifes are beautiful Holly and this is another great example. Beautiful composition and color, and excellent background treatment to highlight the whole collection!
Holly Cawfield replied

Thank you SO much Joanne….this is such an encouraging comment and I really appreciate it! :-)
Von McKnelly

I’m as giddy as a school boy to have found your very creative style of still life work.
Don’t hate me for stealing/borrowing some of your ideas from time to time.
Holly Cawfield replied

:~~D Oh Von….thank you very much. Of course I wouldn’t hate you for using some ideas….I’m very flattered you think there’s something here worth using!! :~~)

Jan Piller

Tell Katie another good job!! Wow!! And once again – you know the perfect mix of coloour and comp. Gheesh you’re good. And apparently you’ll be eating well again tonight!
Holly Cawfield replied

Oh I will tell her Jan. Better yet, I’ll make sure she sees the comments. :-) Thank you so much for the comment. I have a new shot with some potatoes so the dinner was complete. LoL
Joseph Rieg

grannyjune

This is absolutely perfect! I love the composition and colors.
Holly Cawfield replied

Thank you SO much June!! I really appreciate such a lovely comment. :-)
Carolyn Staut

Such superb work Holly. Your still life work is really evolving into full masterpieces. There is a wonderful and creative balance to this whole piece as you contrast the light with the dark. Katie’s pottery is so lovely and accents the peace with style and class. Again, you have taken the simple and shown it to be brilliant.
Holly Cawfield replied

Oh Carolyn….I’m so glad you think the balance is good. I mentioned already that I’ve fiddled with so many compositions for this piece of pottery that I’ve practically worn out the vegetables. :-) Thank you for the comment about the pottery itself too….I’ll pass that along to Katie! You are such an encouragement!!

Another great still life!
Holly Cawfield replied

Thanks Rose! :-)
Béla Török

Oh, what a wonderful still life, my friend!
Holly Cawfield replied

Thank you so much Bela….you’re very kind with you comments and it’s very much appreciated! :-)
Janis Zroback

Wonderful classic Still Life….your technique makes it feel like an old Dutch work…
Holly Cawfield replied

Janis, I really thank you for that. I’m still trying to learn about still life and finding it all great fun…but I can hardly believe how many little things there are that will ‘trip up’ a picture. All part of the process of course!
Megan Martin

YAY!! More still life! I love this one…great composition and I love the contrast of the colors…the greens and browns and the red really pops! =)
Holly Cawfield replied

LoL Megan!! I just love your enthusiasm….you just make my day! Thank you so much!! :-D
DottieDees
