Dogs on plates

I have just finished two plates for "Art that Feeds". This is a wonderful initiative by "Touching Miami with Love" who will use the sale of the plates to feed children in an area in Miami called Overtown. 

I have chosen to paint two little puppies (one on each plate) in the blue colours that remind me of Delfts Blue, with the lines that connect us.We all have memories of pets that are special to us. Even some that were not our own. The lines in my dog paintings and on these plates represent those connections and memories.

On May the 5th there will be a special afternoon filled with art, music and hopefully the puppies will be sold.

  1. Those are sweet! Very well done. Do you have to use a different technique to paint on a plate?

  2. Thanks, RK. No different technique for these particular plates because they are made of acrylics. If they were unbaked porcelain I would have to use coloured glazes... hmmm.. it is an interesting idea.
