Dear All,
This is still wet and so it can be changed still. Any suggestions? Click on the url to see it bigger.

Dear Celestia,
Thanks for all the kind compliments. My painting is an original and is painted entirely from my imagination. This is painted on porcelain. It is china painted. These are dry pigments that are mixed with oils and then painted on the tray; then they have to be fired in a kiln for them to become permanent. This art is over 1000 years old. Thanks again. And I try to make these look antique. So I was happy that you said that especially.[FONT="System"]www.celestemccall.net
Dear mfoxmelanson,
Thanks for the compliment. Also, would it be better to wash back the edge of the flower a bit?Here it is before I put all of this wet paint on it. Maybe it was better before? I really appreciate the opinions.
Here is a picture of it before I added the other ‘stuff’.

I vote for the first version (the one without the wet paint) since it allows that lovely greenish background. Might be my monitor but the simpler version has a preferable clarity

Celeste:
I too paint on porcelain. I’m new to this site but see your input on PPIO. I’m a new painter so really enjoying all the good advice & looking at the beautiful work the different artists do. Your work on the blackberries is like one of he ladies said you could just melt into the painting & feel the heart you painted it with. Wish you lived closer so we could get you to come for seminar. Keep up the good work. Monalisagal from Ok.Monalisagal
Dear All, thanks so much for the input. I really appreciate it. You are all sweeties!
Also, Monalisagal, Thanks also! And I wish that I lived closer too. I would love to move around Dallas one day as I love that area of Texas. I love the Oklahoma ladies. THEY can paint!;)
Thanks again everyone.

We took the picture off of the Caz site so here it is on this one. This is the tray before I added the other dark values and extra berries as in the one above.

Dear giniaad,
Thank you so much for you sweet compliments. Also, there is lots of information on this if you will go to
http://www.ppio.com
and read their information.We mix the paint looser than toothpaste with an oil (mineral oil for some) and then thin it down a little with oil on our brushes and then paint with it. Next, we fire it to at least .017 in a kiln. One piece might take from 1 to 3 or more firings. Some can fire one time and it’s finished. But I prefer the American style and paint with layers of paint and fire in between. My pieces usually have 4 or more fires.
There are lots of websites and information at the PPIO.com
About the piece? I am planning on giving it or another one like it away at the end of the 3 day class in Cazenovia, New York at the school there in June. The link above will take you to view some of the other teachers’ pieces that will be taught by others at the school.
I hope that this information helps. And again, I really appreciate your kind reply to the thread.
