Great background story Dixie and a lovely painting full of character.

Not the easiest subject I think but very well executed with great colours.

Love the the Crack pot story made me laugh. Nice subject with some lovely washes . I expect they made good drainage in bigger pots .

I like your explanation on this work. True, humour is essential to survive. These pots have been well executed.

A4 watercolour, done some time ago whilst I was working with people suffering from long and enduring mental health problems. I tiled it old pots one of the clients said it was my impression of them, when I asked for an explanation I was told a load of crack pots. I am still amazed at the sense of humour that some people retain even when so ill, very humbling.
