2 Fishes Plate- Haand Painted

1 Of A Kind, Hand Painted Plate

I grew up on an island in Florida sandwiched between the Intracoastal Waterway to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. My friends and I spent a lot of time using nets to catch fish in golf course lagoons, the ocean, creeks, marshes- exposing ourselves to water moccasins and alligators. It was worth it, though, to see a net full of wriggly, glistening fish. Often, they were “trash fish”: catfish, turtles, gar, released aquarium fish and lots of sticks and slime. Signed.

I have always loved old blue and white ceramics- Delftware and Kraak Ware (quickly/ sloppily done illustrations on export porcelain of European scenes by 16th century Chinese artisans), really speak to me. My enthusiasm for painting and drawing far outweighs any training or draftsmanship, however, a compulsion and sense of humor have led me to paint on our pieces over the years. I think of them as somewhere between a high school stoner’s notebook doodles and New Yorker cartoons. I hope you like them and they make you happy in some way, I certainly enjoyed making these. - Mark
