Clay & Steel


oil on 1/4'' hardboard panel
6'' x 6''

bidding has ended on this painting

I borrowed this clay pot over a year ago from my mom to paint, and never gave it back. I will - eventually - but I love painting it so much that I think I'll keep it a while longer. Karen picked up the stair-stool at a flea market near Highlands, NC. It's so cool. A little rusty but a great piece of retro furniture.

  1. Hi Neil,

    These are of course absolutely superb.

    I'm glad to see you've started a blog - I'll come back often!

    Best wishes,
    Jeff Hayes

  2. Oh Goody, a Neil Blog! Lucky Me! And even luckier that Mom's Clay Pot has returned as a still life subject. The frst painting I saw - maybe 18 months ago - was EXQUISITE, and I still think about it, and wish it was part of my NH collection. You rock.

  4. hi there, came across your site through Karin Jurick's and wanted to say hello. I think your work is amazing, not so much because of the rendering but because of your use of color. Love how you balance your warms and cools.

  5. You have a fantastic sense of design Neil. So does Karen. You both inspire me as a painter even though I work mostly in watercolor.

    Just starting my own blogging journeys and dopping by to say Hey.
