Clay Vessel "Simply Lilies"

When I walked to the community clay studio in my town, I passed a large bush of beautiful dark purple lilies with striking yellow and orange centers. Eventually I took some pictures of them and painted a watercolor. I was fascinated by the unusual shapes of the petals, the long spiky leaves, and the color combination.

Painting the dark lilies on the white vase meant that any errant strokes would probably be impossible to completely cover up. No pressure! (At least it wasn't the pressure of the action movie where our hero is hovering over the black wire and the red wire while the timer ticks down.)

I've been trying to let go of some things I've collected over the years, and I made a trade with talented potter, artist, and writer Kylie Olsen. (Find her on Instagram-she's a video person and you can see her work as well as some behind-the-scenes of work we collaborated on). She threw this vessel for me.
