JEAN OLLIVER POTTERY WITH CLAY RINGS

The beauty of handmade clay objects coming from any culture, can be appreciated and easily stir a painter’s imagination. Picturing hands forming the clay, and painting the intricacies of the pottery is inspirational. The clay ring pottery is Spanish, while the painted pottery (previous page) is Native American Acoma. Capturing them on canvas becomes a most rewarding obsession.
