    yes.  That particular day bunch of different woodpeckers were hanging together. This guy today. Birds are fascinating. Lot's of bluebirds perching on top of the cut corn. Too far for a picture but surely could paint one! Binoculars brought them in close.  Robins in big numbers.

    The bark on that hickory tree is super unique.

    Here’s what I’m working on now.

    This dragonfly design is painted in ‘underglaze’ on the inside of a bowl I threw on the wheel this past summer…& am finally getting around to finishing.



    Still in limbo about what color to glaze the outside…

    Wow. Really like the interior texture of the bowl. Looks like ripples in water. Truly beautiful.

    Maybe the glaze could be like a muddy brown or whatever you'd imagine a pond's edge to be. A nice green. Rocky greys or blacks.maybe sunny yellows or oranges.Don't know. Look forward to seeing it!

    Here it is!

    I went with yellow on the outside and an orange rim.  I’m pretty stoked about how it came out especially since it’s my first attempt at using underglaze. It gets applied similar to watercolor paint , layers of transparent color.
