Ready for Next Year

A few of the pieces I have finished for next years shows.   The pieces are bisqued and ready for glaze.  Just waiting to see what colors I want to use for glazing.

Fish and Dragonflies

   Life has taken a turn hasn't it?  Corona, race, and politics have taken a toll on humanity and touched us all.  Wouldn't you love to have a reset button?   Gosh.. I would.  But since that is only a possibility for dreams and si-fi, we're stuck with the moment and the reality we are living in.
   What does one do with this new reality?  Shows are all canceled into next year and with time on my hands, I sometimes want to hide in a corner and let the crazy all go by.   There is a fear, I think, in all artists that the world will dictate what we create.  I have always wanted to paint subjects that I like.  Subjects that make me smile or feel whimsical.  The pottery is the same, I create it for me before anyone else.

But finding a happy place has been hard..  So I made a list of things that I have always wanted to do.  These wall hanging fish are not glazed yet but making them made me happy. Also seeing how they turned out has made me happy too!  Hope to glaze them next week.  :)
