Santa Plate SOLD

Several Christmases ago, I was in a  plate painting mode. Small dessert plates scavenged at flea markets and garage sales were the chosen surface. They sold well, and the surplus made ideal small gifts for friends and the unexpected gifting that arises during the Christmas season. This "plate period" reminds me of the various surfaces I have used for paintings from wood to metal;

you name it. Of course, I have my limits. A gentleman wandered into Marble Gate Gallery one day and asked my painting buddy Judith if she was willing to paint the rim of a toilet seat. She turned him down, and I got supremely busy in the back storage room fearful that I would be the next on his list. No, my artistic pride will not allow me to stoop to such.
