A finished plate

Here is my finished plate.  I think the bright flowers look quite dramatic on the black background.

Class project

This is the plate I worked on during my recent four-day class.  I will be painting a few more small flowers nearer the rim of the plate and then doing something decorative on the rim.  The red rose, the orange eight-petal flower and the leaves were all new to me.  The class was very energizing.

Learning from the master

I just finished a wonderful four-day class with a master rosemaler.  What a pleasure!  There were twelve of us in the class and you can see how intent we are to learn from this talented teacher.  As I work on things I've learned from her, I will will show them on future posts.

Eleven little birds

I finished painting eleven bird Christmas ornaments--one for me and ten for my rosemaling club.  I think they're sweet.
