In order to be more artistic (yep, I think I've succumbed to that as a goal) I made some decorative plate/bowls. They are basically a shape like a pie pan...maybe a serving bowl for pasta, or just a small pie pan.
First let me share the Apple Pie Plate...
The painting is pretty loose in this rendering of an apple...not to mention painting it with glazes that require 3 coats for good coverage. I'm ok with the way it came out.
It's actually a bit deep, and since I fix apple pie once a year, and usually for myself, I think it will work. Or maybe I'll sell it. Who knows...
