Tonight I read an article in the November 2009 edition of the Canadian House & Home magazine. There is a serious porcelain artist lived in Candiac of Quebec now. Her name is Sol Labos Brien. I was so fascinated of her artworks, like plates and trinket boxes. Among her paintings, I like the plate with handsome horses in blankets and saddlery. This artwork reminds me a bit about Gustav Klimt's oil paintings. As always, I like his famous painting, the Kiss.
After reading her biography, she was inspired by Sèvres porcelain at the Louvres. I can see she is a real serious porcelain artist and I admire her hard working to perfection.

Porcelain Paper Weigh - A Bouquet of Flowers
The Porcelain Paper Weigh shows a boutquet of
flowers, such as parrot tulips and mini wild 
flowers. The painting is Dresden flower. It can be used to decorate your desk or to place on the papers/napkins. At the back of the weigh, I wrote a little French poem to encourage yourself in life, "l'homme n'est point fait pour médiater, mais pour agir." It means the man is not made to mediate, but to act.

Porcelain Painting Jug - Chantilly
This weekend I just finished painting this nice scrolled jug. The jug's representation is a bit of antique-like and thus I decided to paint the classical pattern, Chantilly.
Chantilly pattern always comes in blue color. Of course, I can use other colors instead but this time I prefer using blue. The jug's porcelain part is not purely white, it contains a bit transparent yellowish hint. It's a bit unusual. Chantilly pattern on yellowish porcelain container with scrolled rim, handle and bottom, it enhance the jug's antique quality.
The curves of jug is very smooth and it looks very adorable. When it sits in French country style kitchen, it's definitely value added.
As usual, I signed this jug's bottom in French as "Peint main Charlotte L". [translation: Painted by Charlotte L.]
