ReplyDeleteExcellent selection of imagery for inspiration. I like how quickly you were able to put your inspiration into you own artwork in class with your mug. George Ohr is a fascinating person and about 100 years ahead of his time. His life journey is captured well in a book called "the Mad Potter of Biloxi". It portrays how hard it was for him to pursue clay in such an original way and how his zany antics made him quite the tourist attraction.
