Salmon Scalloped

Salmon Scalloped  6 x 6 pastel


Day 17 — I was trying to find the name of this china pattern with no luck. I did spend way too much time reading about the difference between porcelain, fine china and bone china. Quite interesting— bone china is 30% ground up bones (cattle).

And then I found this:
Charles Krafft's Villa Delirium Delft Works produces porcelain family memorabilia from human ashes.
His motto? "Ashes to ashes, dust to delft".

P.S. The background on this painting is a soft periwinkle, NOT swimming pool blue. No amount of futzing in Photoshop will get me the correct color.

  1. I love the painting and am blown away by your research! Whatever the the background is in real life, the color in the photo rocks also.
