Description:

This was a class project taught by Marnie Ritter.  I adore Marnie both as a person and a wonderful teacher.  This piece was the vehicle for a new shading technique.  It was challenging and a great learning experience.

My mother and I share a love of flowers.  This was my gift to her for her 80th birthday.  She lives in central Iowa and at age 83 is a prolific, beautiful painter of china.  We are each very appreciative of the time spent on each other’s projects.  I treasure her painted china gifts, and it was a joy to be able to give her something special that I had made.
