A Blue and White Baroque Spring






I made a little baroque tableau to celebrate the arrival of Spring!  The clocks have sprung forward, the garden has started to wake up and the light is brighter...




I have a very small collection of Muriel Hopwood blue and white pottery, which I think looks lovely with the bright bunch of spring daffodils.  





I made these daffodils last year using tracing paper and dry pastels, and I am pleased to say that a year later, they are in good condition, and the colours haven't faded.




There is something very timeless about blue and white china, especially when it is combined with silver.  I just have to find something delicious to put in the bowl!

    Such a quiet and composed scene for me to revel in and enjoy, Jonquil! The gold brocade of the chair upholstery and the silken luster of the gown in the painting, form the Perfect triad by which to frame your EXQUISITE daffodils and showcase your blue and white Hopwood china.
    The delicate softness of the flower trumpets are Spot On and I can't say enough about the colour and the naturalness of the leaves- in short, Every detail of this composition is PERFECT!
    ❤️Welcome Spring!

    The yellow daffodils against the blue and white is beautiful. All of the pieces exhibited are tiny pieces of class.
