Empty Bowl

A few years ago I did a green bowl and fruit series.  It was based on the bowls that I received when I went to the "Empty Bowl" luncheon for the Second Food Harvest Food Bank each year.  Clay Works Pottery donate these beautiful bowls for this worthy cause.  The empty bowl is to remind us that there are many people around our own city of Charlotte that have little or nothing to eat.

This is the painting of the beautiful bowl that I picked out this year.

This bowl is from last year's "Empty Bowl" luncheon.  It was fun to use another empty for today's still life.  Who knows maybe tomorrow I will use another bowl from my collection.

Day 21

A friend of mine invited me to the "Empty Bowl" luncheon that benefits Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. Each year we pick out a bowl that the local potters have donated to the cause.  I have a beautiful collection of green bowls that help me remember that some people have empty bowls.  This is a palette knife and brush painting on a 8" x 8" panel of my favorite green bowl.
