That wasn't going to be the title, but once I started painting,  I realized how the rich red of the background was finding its way onto almost every surface.  I don't usually use red for background, but felt like some richer color today.  The bowl, a favorite of mine, was handthrown by local potter James Mitchmeyer. I love the oriental-inspired design, ending in that little red dot.   I hope you like it.  This one is 6x6.  To purchase, pleaseclick here.
