ASIAN COLLECTION

While looking in my hall closet for a certain tablecloth, I came upon a "smallish" plastic bag with a twist-tie on it.  I had no idea what was in it as it had been hidden there for "centuries".  When I opened it this Oriental silk scarf plus two others were the treasures I found.  They are all so gorgeous and very frail so I carefully spread this one out and walked around the house trying to figure out what to use to complement the scarf.   The silver pitcher seemed a no-brainer and then I decided to add one of the cups from our Rooster china. 

My parents-in-law were in the service stationed in China in the early 1920's and brought home lots of wondrous treasures.

Thanks for looking.  Hope you are having fun painting or whatever you love to do.....

CIGARETTE KEEPER

This little red cup came from China in the early 1920's.  We inherited it from my husband's parents who were stationed in China with the Navy at that time.  It was designed to hold cigarettes and worked well for them until they came out with filtered cigarettes which no longer fit.  Fortunately by that time they had quit smoking anyway.  I just plopped a pear on top and was good to go....

Enjoy (now I get to eat the pear)!

A PAIR OF DAISIES

Going from just flowers to a still life with flowers in it.  That involves a little more planning in terms of composition and color harmony.  I find I really do need to do some thumbnails when I do these even though they look simple.  Also working with shadows is more challenging than I always think it will be.   I'm happy when they make me happy....

Happy Painting or whatever else you like to do---
