Here are tiles just made this month, celebrating winter.
You may remember them from recent Art Diary posts – now they are finished and ready for you to see.
They are each 4″ x 4″, Velvet underglazes on commercially-made terracotta tiles, fired at cone 06, January, 2018.
It is the grey time of year, isn’t it? Yet you manage to inject cheer…(K)
Lovely winter scenes, Claudia 🙂
These are lovely, Claudia! I love your use of pops of bright colour against the muted tones of the winter landscapes. They reflect that feeling I always have of looking for the upsides of winter just so I can mentally drag myself through it. Every day when the cardinals visit my feeders, I tell myself how much more bold at this time of year.
I am glad to read that you have found the process so beneficial. I will definitely try to hunt out some everyday winter beauty.
Love them 🙂
It’s time for hot chocolate and split pea soup and chili and knee socks and favorite gloves and walking in the bare woods … and I could go on and on, not to be a spokesperson for winter, but, there are certainly things that you can only do in winter!
Thank you!
I started with gray and white and then added the colors – and you are right, a cardinal shows up in winter as it never does in summer. Likewise those little chickadees.
Thank you!
That’s true. I do love the way trees look without leaves.
