Original artwork description:

A small still life painting of green ceramic jug upon a reddish brown ground. This painting was inspired by my love of old ceramics and the soft patina of oft-used functional items that have acquired a kind of poetic beauty through the passing of time and repeated use. I began this painting by applying a bright yellow ground, upon which I built up several layers of brown and red, each time wiping back the paint with a linen cloth to leave only a thin residue. This creates the softness of colour in the background which complements the rich green glazing of the pitcher.
