When ever I walked onto Hope’s property, I wanted to sit down and paint everything. She and Doug had a wonderful knack for placement. These dishes were in a hutch in the dining room and were collected over the years. Hope was always telling me to frame my paintings like they deserved the best. We were in an art show together and I had framed this picture well. It sold the night of the opening to a woman whose grandparents collected pottery just like this.
