I like to take photos as I develop each bowl so I can maybe repeat the process if I like how it ends up turning out.  Or stop the process if I liked it better before I "finished" it. 
The top Bowl is, at least for now, called Leaning Trees.  At first a friend thought it should be called Zombies or something like that, with the hands reaching up from a dark ooze.  It reminds me of pollarded trees in France during the month of April.  The background is properly murky.  The top and bottom borders remind me of mosaics.  It is getting to be a nice thing.  I think I will really like this one.

Tht bottom pair are something that popped into my head over night while dreaming.  It wants to be overlapping pages of different colored papers, or sheets of some sort.  I rally love the idea, and with some emphatic carving and then clever coloring, it will be a pretty eye catching piece.  The white is Dan Smith watercolor ground, which enables one to paint on anything with watercolors.  The colors...they, of course, are from my watercolor box.   The final bowl will be encased in several coats of sturdy varnish to keep them intact.  But that is a ways off.

Three scenic bowls using Northwest subjects. These are done in oil, using a ground on part of the bowl, and using the natural wood color on the other parts.
