Paintings - designs of everyday tableware

These paintings were part of my final painting assignment for a unit in the Diploma of Tapestry course I am studying by correspondence from SW TAFE (see link at right)

The detailed designs in this painting are influenced by my love of Australian artist, Richard Larter's paintings.

I enjoyed designing and painting these designs as the cutlery, dishes etc looked as though they were dancing.  I tried to make the overlapping parts be unclear as to whether they were in front or behind.
