Midwest potter Karen Brinson, whom I found on Etsy, made this lovely blue vase custom for me. I wanted a vivid cobalt blue vase with a shiny finish that would reflect subjects set next to it. She nailed it. Karen and her husband Ken own KK Brinson Studio and work in a barn they built in their backyard. Visit KK Brinson Studio on Etsy here.
I purchased the luscious snow giant peach at the Boise Farmer's Market.Half the fun of painting fresh produce subjects is getting to consume them after I apply the last brush stroke. This peach really delivered, not to mention that I paired it with a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream. Good food fuels the soul.
I will show this painting at my upcoming BOSCO open studio tour event October 9-11. I hope you Southern Idahoans can make it.
