More fine plates

 

mf1The other two artists who were here last week took home plates they’d previously painted too.

 

Monique Fouquet had used opaque grey on both of hers, achieving very different effects. One continued a series she’d started earlier, with a smoke-enclosed form mysteriously floating by.

The other is a striking arrangement of red on black surrounded by the grey rim. Super! Her work from last week is totally different and I’m sure she’s waiting impatiently to see the results.

Mina Totino chose four regular oval plates this time, and echoed the shape with painted ovals repeated inside. It’s great to see how the colours work on these, with some scattered blobs. She does have fun!

Her smaller squarish plate was leather hard and she used slips for that painting.mt1
