Blue.

[Johnny Taylor]

Well I got some more time yesterday to do what I wanted to do!!
This piece will be the first in a series of carved and couloured hollow forms with gold accents. I haven't really come up with a name for them so as this ones blue that will do as a title for now!
Its Sycamore under the decoration (lol) and its four inches tall and about the same width as height. The colour is all artists acrylic paint with the accents being gold gilt cream.
I quite enjoyed the carving and surprisingly for me didn't even get too fed up with the hand sanding to finish the carved area!!!:D

C&C as ever welcomed.

Johnny,
Both patterns are unique and both look great. My lack of proper artistic appreciation would have loved to see two forms each with one of the decoration this bowl shares. I think each is strong enough for its own canvas. Nice work.

Johnny, That is really spectacular. Very unique and beautiful.

Beautiful piece Johnny. Love the embellishment and color.

Johnny, I like what you have done, however in my opinion there is already enough going on where I think the blue distracts from the piece. I love the two textures and think they stand well without the added color.

I don't know exactly what to think about this. I have looked & looked. Both "sides" are interesting, but maybe I would like it more as two separate vessels? Maybe I'm getting old & stodgy? It is appealing and different. I will let it grow on me. Thanks for sharing this interestingly decorated vessel

Thanks for the comments everyone:) I do need to make one that has the styling of the blue area all the way around as I think that would look nice but that's another turning for another day!
