I discovered this clay bean pot at the Mexican market in Juarez, Mexico, many years ago.  This was long before the airlines were strict about what you carried onto the plane with you ~ I held this fragile pot in my lap all the way home.  Since then, it has starred in many of my paintings, and all but one have sold. Despite its humble appearance and quirky construction, (the bottom is round), it has immense character.  It allows me the joy of painting with earth colors, regardless of whether I choose subtle or vibrant, which is always a special pleasure.  

"Market Prize" is an original pastel painting on Wallis Archival Support.  11" x 14"
