O'Keeffe style Poppies

 A repost from 2018 to share my Poppies on pottery. This is a good way to sit here and heal (me) while you have something pretty to look at. A FB friend has started painting and I'm urging her on, of course. She asked me what my O'Keeffe style was.

Now I've done a vase, which still has a bit of Georgia O'Keeffe's style...and is pretty brilliant (meaning the colors are vibrant!)


I started with these 4 medium size mugs. All my mugs have Celtic Cross thumb knobs.

The same mug next to the vase.


The vase can certainly stand alone, or have some great green stems of flowers coming out of it...what do you think?

Everything is hand painted, while looking at an O'Keefe painting.

    1. Second try to reply...first just disappeared. I said it was an interesting process to convert the colors and shapes to glazes on ceramics from her beautiful work in oil paint on canvas.

    1. The vase is probably in someone's home...or at least packed away. It's not on my shelves. I think I just have 1 mug left.

  7. Yes, either one can stand alone.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
