    hahah – I love your description! I wouldn’t return it!! It’s beautiful! I love that big bowl! wow! And once again, you have showcased her beautiful work with such “a plumb” !!!! hehehe – sorry – couldn’t resist!

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    Are you old enough to remember Razzle Dazzle? Howard the Turtle? He told ‘groaners’ too! :-D :-D (good one though!) Thanks friend!

    Don’t listen to Jan she’ll get you into hot water every time. But then the family loan plan does have the best interest rate going.
    No sure if I’m salivating over the berries or the art….maybe 50 50.

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    If I keep these Jan might be getting a cut Von….vested interest. :-D

    Thanks!! :-)

    Beautiful Holly…simply stunning!

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    Thanks Renee…the glaze has been giving me blown out highlight fits for days. I finally said, ‘that’s it!!” :-D

    Just gorgeous, I look forward to seeing the finished collection (calendar?).

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    Thanks Barb! I think there will be a calendar. At the moment the goal is to make a book so my daughter has a portfolio of her work but a calendar is also something we’re thinking of doing.

    Hi Holly! does your daughter know you have grown attached to the pottery, she probably grows very anxious each time you take it home with you lol. Another stunning composition – your colours and lighting are fabulous…. the pottery is very classic and compliments the fruit very well, so a great joint effort….wonderful capture!!

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    She’s getting the idea Kate…in fact I half expect her to kidnap my camera equipment as a hostage exchange. :)
    Thank you for the lovely comment! :    )

    Holly, so captivating an image. It has an earthy elegance to it. The pottery gifts from the clay of the earth, and the fruits from the trees of the earth. Gorgeous lighting is integrated beautifully. Another superb work!

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    Thanks Carolyn….what a lovely comment. It’s been a bit of a struggle to get back in the swing of things so this was a start. :-)

    Holly, I agree with Bonnie I’m also a devoted fan of your very creative Still life work. I love the charm, presentation and compositions of these masterpieces. Gorgeous pottery ….. I think your daughter knows it’s in good hands!!! Delightful work!

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    Thank you Kathy! I keep looking at internet galleries of paintings (usually older works) and there are so many facets and details regarding still life I have yet to learn. Your comment gives me hope I’m progressing and I really appreciate the encouragement!! :-)

    I would swear that these were painted in oils…brilliant work Holly…

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    Ahh Janis…thank you for that. I was really trying to get that effect with the fruit so I’m really pleased you think it has a painted look. :-)

    Holly, you are the Vermeer of the photographic still life! This series would make a fabulous coffee table book, perhaps with a old fashion home style recipe using the fruits or vegetables on each page! :)))

  • Holly Cawfield replied

    Annemarie, that thunking sound you just heard is my jaw hitting the desk here. What an incredible compliment…thank you so much. I’m trying to figure out how to do a ‘nod’ to Chardin and get the glass and water properly. Quite a challenge so far. It’s one of my favourite paintings.

    As usual professionally worked work … and A Book is a great idea which must be done !!!
    It will be good for both of you and show your extraordinary talents …
    Not only to market your work but to sell as an art or even a ‘how to book, maybe …
    You probably know there are some self publishing book publishers on line ..
    Actually I recently ‘made’ a Mac Book of my friends illustrations for a children’s book to show to outlets and ‘live’ publishers .. I was very pleased with the paper, price and production .. good luck ..xs
