I was visiting Charlotte, NC for a show opening at Shain Gallery where I was introduced to a couple that had purchased one of my paintings earlier. They invited me to their home and during my visit is saw a beautiful asian bowl on a brass base in their dining room. I immediately wanted to paint it, but of course, I could not take it with me. When I got home I started my search to find something similar and discovered this bowl from a dealer in California. I knew when it was properly illuminated with the right light it would make a wonderful, elegant painting bringing out all of the beautiful colors in the ornate pattern.
