Oak Woods. 11" high x 6"
diameter. Wheel-thrown red earthenware with hand-painted white
maiolica glaze.
This wheel thrown form is maiolica glazed and hand-painted
with many layers of mineral pigments. It was twice fired with
the final firing to 1940 F. in an oxidation atmosphere. The
imagery is inspired by the artist's local mountain environment
where Gambel Oak trees grace the hillsides in abundance near
her home and studio. In early spring, before the emergence
of new green, the twisty, craggy branches of these brushy
trees stand out and dominate the vertical landscape.
