Starting with studies, in watercolor in the sketchbook. Intrigued by the odd few pieces of fine china I discovered in my Uncle Razzy’s kitchen. Uncle Razzy has passed on, leaving behind a lot of plastic dishes and cups. I was surprised to find this little stash of petite cups and saucers.

 And here’s where I get excited! Setting up a new still life situation, suddenly decided to throw in my favorite Paul Smith shoe. The pattern play, the colors…can’t wait to paint this.
