Sugar Shaker #2

"Sugar Shaker"
6" x 6"
Oil on canvas panel

Here is another in my series of shaker. Sugar shakers are made just like salt shakers—holes in the top, cork hole in the bottom, just larger.  These were crudely made items back in the 40's. Mostly utilitarian and for export from Japan.  The bottom of this one isn't very rough, but some are.  I've seen them with felt glued over the bottom, including the cork hole.  New felt with every fill? 

I painted this shaker, then chose the daisy colors to become the background colors.  One more shaker to come!

Thank you for stopping by today.

Shake Your Booty

"Shake Your Booty"
8" x 10"
Oil on canvas panel
I debated over lots of issues in this painting: even number of items, odd composition, spilled salt, or are they pepper shakers?  I only have one of each, so I have nothing to compare them to—hole-wise.  So salt it is.


I liked the red/green background behind my first sugar shaker, so here it is again, with a variation on the theme. I have one more sugar shaker to add to this collection, so I'll hop to it in a day or so.

Thanks for stopping by.
