Stoneware Carafe 01 is me trying to paint clay the way it looks before the glaze gets involved: bare, a little grainy, and not remotely interested in being symmetrical.
The blue strokes along the table are there because royal blue is my current crush, and lately it has been turning up in everything I paint.

Painted in gouache, and numbered 01, because there's already a 02, and the two look rather good hanging side by side.
