Blue Pitcher
(24" x 18", oil on canvas)

Every summer I look forward to the annual pottery show in Val David, Quebec. 1001 Pots is a wonderful place to find additions to my ever-increasing collection of props. Pieces made by hand have more personality, and are therefore more fun to paint, than objects that are machine made.

This jug was one of my purchases this year. Because it is such a beautifully strong colour I paired it with hues of similar value resulting in a wonderful play of colour.
