This is a ceramic candle holder from Guatemala. I bought it on the first day of my painting class with Carol Marine in Santa Fe. Carol is a wonderfully talented artist and teacher, and the inspiration for my creating this blog.
It is drawn with pastel pencil on velour paper, neither of which I've used before. One of my many intentions for this daily practice is to try materials that are new to me, and return to things long forgotten. Another tool I'm learning to use is a digital camera. This week's struggle is getting the photo to actually look like the artwork!
