Description
Helle posted several images of Iron Age pots a while back, and I just fell in love with them! The shapes and colors are so graceful and beautiful.
Here's a link to one of Helle's photographs so you can see the reference image I used.
Thank you for letting me use your photo, my friend! This was a really fun piece to paint.

Wonderful work, Tara! they look great
Beautiful painted pots. I love your paintings and the links you provide to show us what inspired you.
Better than the grime and grit of the potters wheel...? Both have their place in the world of creativity, fun and relaxation. Well done! Clive
Oh, I love when you do one of these--and this one is just gorgeous. The light and colors are so perfect!!
OHH WOOOW! Tara! This is gorgeous the shapes the soft clay feeling and the warm colors are just wonderful. The shapes are just as they have to be. I love this painting and you did it so beautifully. Thank you so much, Tara. I am only honoured if you find my shots worth painting. Thank you :-D
Great feeling to this.. for me a real evocation of slippery terracotta clay before it's dried and fired!
Excellent work! :)
Wonderful art, excellent!
Beautiful! Wonderful color, light, and textures! I love the way the background colors are seen in the highlights of the pots!
nice work
Wow, Tara! Wonderful work with ArtRage - it really looks like an oil painting! You're as talented with a Wacom as you are with a camera! Excellent!
very sweet and warm, Tara May made me smile too have a wonderful weekend warm hugs, Linda Kaye
very wonderful
Ooooo, like the subtle blending of colors and light. I find digital painting to be a unique process to watch...maybe I'll get to try my hand at it one day:)
Nice work...nice blend of colors
Wonderful artwork Tara and thanks for the link to Helle's photo. Dana
Wonderful work Tara well done!!
You already know how I feel about this, but I might as well make it public. This is splendid, Tara. Splendid. Your velvety strokes are just delicious, you've turned the longitudinal lines of fine pottery into something sensual and beautiful; and your highlighting on each vase is both beautiful and oh-so painterly. These are the kinds of choices the finest painters make. And the conglomerate of hues in the shaded portions (of the pots) are to die for---a wonderful combination of browns, reds, etc. And your background---what an intuitive choice to go with that peach-hued background, with nothing but the texture itself to give it articulation. You don't need anything else, no walls, no floors or table-surfaces: The colors alone are enough. And you've left light around the pots, which gives them an almost beatific presence. Beautiful; and a wonderful transformation of Helle's already wonderful pot photos...as people say, "more, more, more!" I hope you do more painting as the months go on, this is splendid work.
