Jar of Marbles- watercolor 9X12

Childhood Memories -Jar of Marbles

Watercolor 9X12

This watercolor is a painting of one of my mom's antique canning jars filled with her childhood marble collection.  I took some photos of it recently because I loved how the sunlight was making all the marbles sparkle.  Like my mom, I have more than a few (some would say too many) of these antique canning/mason jars.  She got me interested in them years ago, and although I rarely buy them anymore- I love to include them in my paintings.

My FiestaWare is finally here!

I have always loved Fiestaware and have some of my grandmother's original dishes. For years, I have been thinking about ordering a set of my own and just kept putting it off. The main thing was that I already had several sets of dishes not including my china and did not want to get rid of any to make room! When we moved from Long Island to California, mysteriously some of our dishes did not arrive in our new house- like about half of them. My theory is that the packer from the moving company now has a nice set of Wedgewood dishes on his table. Anyway, I guess I should thank him since I now have room for this bright & shiny new set of FiestaWare. I love it- I chose all of the colors I liked to mix and match. It looks awesome and I can't wait to set the table with it!

Thanks for looking!
