CAROLYN C. BELL TALAVERA SHADOWS

12” x 12” — Acrylic $1,200

My home patio is decorated with colorful Mexican Talavera pottery. My favorite flower is the geranium, and it has appeared in many of my paintings. The combination of the flowers, the colorful pot design, and the light casting the shadow on an adobe wall begged to be painted.
