Daily Painting: English Tea Cup by California Artist F. Poole

English Tea Cup   5"x7"  Oil on Canvas

I've owned this tea cup for a long time, maybe 30 years.  I went on a tea cup hunt in all of the local Antique stores; in the San Francisco Bay Area where I lived at the time.   Actually, it's really a bullion cup, meaning it has two handles.  I take one of the handles off and turn it into a teacup when I include it in a painting.   To see more paintings, please visit my Website.   For Questions please feel free to email me at:  frances@francespoole.com

Purple Grapes; Oil Painting by California Artist F. Poole

Purple Grapes  12"x12"  Oil on Canvas

These grapes are actually called "Concord Grapes" and are what grape juice is made from.  The small crab apples, for lack of a better name were found by the roadside.  I am always keeping my eye open for things I can paint and love to forage.  This painting sold, but is being reproduced on tiles.  To find where this and other images can be ordered on tiles, please visit my Website.

Salt Peter Glaze Pitcher by F. Poole

Salt Peter Glaze Pitcher  8"x10" Oil on Canvas

I've had the pitcher for a long time and have painted it many times.  I think the blue and orange complements work very well in this painting.  The oranges came from a friends tree.  I love to get the leaves because I think they add a lot to a composition.
