Here is a little still life I'm working on. This is the first time I've used Lusterware pottery in any artwork, but it won't be the last. The lighting on this set-up didn't highlight its iridescence very much, but even at this level, it's fun and challenging to capture.
I've always found this "duck" creamer to be a goofy looking item. Somehow, though, he seems to belong right here at the forefront of this piece, pulling together all of the colors behind him. I guess I'll never think of him as completely goofy again! (Maybe just a little bit goofy.)

Love the composition, Liz! I think your 'goofy' duck is cute, adds an element of surprise.
Thanks Kathy!
And, yes, that duck even surprised me!
Gorgeous colours, I like the composition too, and I LOVE that little duck!
Thank you Kay, from me ... and the duck! I think he's enjoying the attention after years on the back of a cupboard shelf, poor thing.
Great capture of the Lusterware, Liz. Also congratulations on your recognition for Water Plus Sunshine - I think Blogger must have eaten my earlier comment. You managed to make basil look as beautiful as it tastes!
Thanks, Robyn! I'm already scheming to snatch some more Lusterware from my sisters' and mother's collections for another still-life or two.
It was a fun surprise to receive that award... very encouraging for me!
