A Diptych

Japanese Pot with Silene or "None so Pretty"(left)

Japanese Pot with Cosmos (right)

I completed these paintings a couple of years ago as part of my painting everyday challenge completing a 100 small 5 x 7 acrylic paintings. This object happens to be a Japanese sake pot that I purchased when I was in Japan in 2000. These paintings when viewed side by side make a great diptych. The painting  'Japanese Pot with Cosmos' was painted in the natural daylight, the other Japanese Pot with Silene was painted ina black box with a light source.


These days with caring for Calem and Clara both I don't have a lot of time to mix and apply color to canvas.
